Publisher's Synopsis
Hannah Marshall never thought she'd return to her west coast hometown of Linton, riddled with exhausted coal mines and permanently overhung with rain clouds. Her degree and her job in an international auction house were her ticket out of Linton's faded Georgian splendour. But now, ten years later, Hannah is back, for reasons she won't discuss, to find that little has changed. Seeing Linton through an adult's eyes, she begins to make out a complicated web of old grudges and secrets - and the definite air of scandal around her turbulent family. As Hannah faces up to her own demons, she's forced to dig into the past and confront the hidden truths that haunt her family and Linton itself.
