"A thrilling debut that absolutely delivers" (Town & Country) in which the lines between eccentricity and madness, cruelty and love become hilariously, heartbreakingly blurred.The keys to the mighty Gothic mansion of Thornwalk are about to be handed over to a luxury hotelier. They will spend millions in the restoration, but in doing so, what will be erased? The reader is invited on a tour of this crumbling estate, guided by an enigmatic narrator. Each room holds a secret, from the bolt on the blue room door to a silver spoon in a wooden box. Wrapped around these seemingly insignificant objects are the stories of the five fatherless children who lived here.
