A dramatic tale of two families entwined through three generations of secrets and lies. From high in the house that stands on the hill, young Meridia regards the behaviour of her stern father, Gabriel, who disappears off in a mist every evening; and her proud mother, Ravenna, secluded in the cellar kitchens of their home, as perfectly normal. After all, this is a world where strange things happen all the time. Over the years, however, Meridia realises that not everyone" lives in a gothic mansion full of dark family skeletons to be avoided at all costs. Marriage to Daniel seems an exciting escape, but moving in with him and his pestering mother could prove to have made her worse off. Swarms of bees stalk the house, strange flowers bloom and die over secrets buried in the garden, and no one will explain the mysterious position of the ancient family retainer skulking in the background. If either family is ever to find any peace, it's up to Meridia to unravel the complex webs that have bound them together over decades. But she should be careful. If she thinks the present is full of alarming discoveries, she hasn't even got started on the past!

Book Description Condition: Bueno. Up in the house that sits on the hill, a strange spell is brewing. To Meridia, growing up with her father Gabriel, who vanishes daily in clouds of mist, and her bewitching mother Ravenna, the outside world is a refuge. So when as a young woman her true love Daniel offers her marriage, it seems an escape to a more straightforward existence. Yet behind the welcoming façade of her new home lies a life of drudgery and a story even stranger than that she left behind. Aged retainers lurk in the background; swarms of bees appear at will, and of course, there's her indomitable mother-in-law, Eva, hiding secrets that it will take Meridia years to unravel. Surrounded by seemingly unfathomable mysteries, can Meridia unlock the intrigues of the past, and thus protect her own family's future? An epic tale of two families told by an unforgettable voice. A modern fable, a gothic page-turner, but most of all, a passionate story about the power of love to conquer all that comes its way.
