Notes
Description
"In 1940, British college student Ruth Gladstone and her grandmother are evacuated to an estranged aunt's house in rural Martynsborough. In between learning to hunt and grow food-and dealing with resentment from the locals-Ruth uses her time to write a novel. While volunteering at the village hall, she meets Malcolm, an injured soldier, and his wife Elise, who has brain damage. One night, Ruth sees a mysterious figure in white wandering the fields. She learns the legend of the wraith, a young girl who drowned in lime kiln pools in 1910; the villagers believe the evacuees have stirred up the wraith's spirit. Seeing the legend as a basis for her novel, Ruth interviews villagers and searches through the town documents. As she also questions her aunt and grandmother, she finds them reluctant to talk about their 20-year estrangement or the abandoned family mill and grand estate that no one dares to enter. Ruth and Malcolm unearth secrets that will shake the town, their families, and themselves"--,Provided by publisher.
