The Butterfly Cabinet

Autor Bernie McGill
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2012
Now in paperback An emotionally bracing, refreshingly intelligent, and ultimately heartbreaking story ("Kirkus Reviews") of two women linked by a tragic, decades-old secret.
When former nanny Maddie McGlade receives a letter from the last of her charges, she realizes the time has come to unburden herself of a secret she has kept for more than seventy years: the truth behind the death of Charlotte Ormond, the four-year-old daughter of the wealthy household where Maddie was employed as a young woman. Based on chilling events that actually took place in the north of Ireland in 1892, "The Butterfly Cabinet "is a sterling example of dark, emotionally complex fiction."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
An unforgettable story of two women linked by their roles in a tragedy at the end of the Victorian era, THE BUTTERFLY CABINET by Bernie McGill will appeal to fans of THE VANISHING ACT OF ESME LENNOX or THE SUSPICIONS OF MR WHICHER, and was singled out by Julian Fellowes as his Book of the Year in the Guardian.

On a remote estate in the north of Ireland, a little girl dies, and the community is quick to condemn her mother, Harriet Ormond. Now, after seventy years, Maddie McGlade, a former nanny at the house, knows the time has come to reveal her own role in the events of that day.

From Maddie's reminiscences and Harriet's long-concealed diaries emerges an unforgettable story of motherhood and betrayal, and of two women, mistress and servant, inextricably connected by an extraordinary secret.

'Assured and very readable, holding plenty of promise for the future'
'McGill has the ability to enter the brain and heart of her characters and so to make us sympathise with people who commit acts we abhor'
