Beskrivning
London, 1865. Desperate for work, Minnie takes employment as a maid for the wealthy Culpepper twins. The siblings lead a strange and unconventional life: Edmund operates a laboratory from the house while Edith experiments with morbid photography. When Minnie stumbles upon Edith photographing a deceased girl and swan, she is horrified; but with a sick sister to provide for and nowhere else to go, Minnie must stay and unravel the mysteries of Culpepper House before she becomes Edith's next victim.London, present day. Grieving artist Hadley is consumed by an album of Victorian death photography, including the exquisite image of a deceased young girl with a swan. When this photograph is involved in an art world scandal, Hadley is given the opportunity to create an installation surrounding the image. But the enigmatic Kit Culpepper, of the Culpepper Trust, has other plans. He offers Hadley an eye-watering sum of money to sell him the album and never speak of its contents again. As Hadley digs deeper into the album's truths, she begins to suspect Kit Culpepper is guarding a deathly secret... and she's not entirely sure how far he'll go to keep it.

Mer om författaren

A. Rushby (also writing as Allison Rushby), was gifted the middle name of Jane, for Jane Austen. Wordsmithing was duly destined and, under several pseudonyms, she has published more than thirty books. She has long been a fan of cities steeped in history, wild, overgrown cemeteries, red brick Victorian museums, the curious and the uncanny. She prefers to write with a cup of French Earl Grey tea by her side and a cat curled up in her lap.

Recensioner i media

Death photography, in which the recently deceased were posed before a camera, today seems a peculiarly macabre Victorian practice. In this dual-time narrative, Rushby uses it as a means to explore grief, loss and the intertwining of past and present... Rushby skilfully brings her two narratives together as her novel progresses
