About the book

Synopsis

Celibate, irreproachable and distinguished, Thomas Cavendish is in his mid-fifties and the obvious man to become Master of his college. But, walking by the river, Thomas sees a young girl standing on the bridge. It is an apocalyptic vision, one that alters Thomas's life irrevocably and tragically, but with the beauty and joy of a love never previously imagined.

What the critics say

Subtle and profoundly moving, this novel is rich in the qualities for which Hill has won such high praise in the past. She returns to the eerie landscape of the East Anglian marshes, which was used to such magnificent effect in her classic ghost story The Woman in Black... One of our finest novelists
- Sunday Times

Subtle and profoundly beautiful
- Scotsman

Hill breaks all the rules of British irony and gets away with it, thanks in part to her obsessive imagination
