Scotland, 1863. In
an attempt to escape her past, Bessy Buckley takes a job working as a
maid in a big country house.
But when Arabella, her beautiful
mistress, asks her to undertake a series of bizarre tasks, Bessy begins
to realise that she hasn't quite landed on her feet. In one of the most
acclaimed debuts of recent years, Jane Harris has created a heroine who
will make you laugh and cry as she narrates this unforgettable story
about secrets and suspicions and the redemptive power of love and
friendship.
'Vastly original. Bessy is surely one of the most striking characters in
recent fiction: cynical, disruptive, tender and very, very funny.'
