Description
1980s Soho is electric. For Eliza, the heady pull of its nightclubs and free-spirited people leads her into the life she has craved - all glamour, late nights and excitement. But it comes at a heavy cost.
Cassie is fascinated by her family's history and the abandoned Beaufont Hall. Why won't her mother talk about it? Offered the chance to restore Beaufont to its former glory, Cassie jumps at the opportunity to learn more about her past.
Separated by a generation, but linked by a forgotten diary, these two women have more in common than they know . . .

I devoured it like a hungry wolf. It has everything: a crumbling mansion, a fractured family and long-buried secrets all mixed in with the seductive glamour of 1980s Soho. There are monsters in the shadows, but a sense of belonging wins out - belonging to a place, to a family and deep in someone's heart. Enchanting! * VERONICA HENRY (AUTHOR) *
