The Mandeville Shadow: Totally heartbreaking and unputdownable timeslip historical fiction
""Bewitching! I was so into this series that I lost track of time… Everything was perfect - emotions, heartbreak, drama and long-lost memories." Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1935. Kate Durrant is helping her mother move out of the little cottage her parents used to share, until her father's heartbreaking death. Full of guilt that she couldn't visit her dad in his last moments, Kate now has only memories for company. Memories and… something else. Since she was a small child, Kate has been able to see and feel the history of objects she touches. She's always kept her gift secret, not knowing fully what it is, or how far it goes. One evening, while visiting her father's grave, Kate wanders into the shadowy woods behind the church. Following the mossy paths, she realises she's lost her way just as she stumbles upon the wrought-iron gates of Hill House, home to the illustrious Mandeville family. Welcomed in and offered a position on the staff as a housemaid, Kate discovers that all is not right within the walls of the splendid manor house. As her gift begins to unspool the history of the Mandeville's home, she realises that an unspeakable tragedy is fated to befall the family heir. Kate also grows increasingly close to Bertie Morrison, the Estate Manager who has known Hill House his whole life. With the family oblivious to their desperate peril, Bertie helps Kate understand her deepening connection to the Mandevilles. With Halloween approaching - when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest - a special visitor from the house's past appears just as a shadow falls over Hill House. The clock is ticking… will Kate's unique gift, combined with the strength of a new love and a timeless love from beyond the grave, be enough to save the Mandeville legacy?
