Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A brilliantly original, funny and endlessly intriguing story of one woman's journey from a difficult past into an even more disturbing present. This powerful story of secrets and suspicions, hidden histories and mysterious disappearances is at once compelling and heart-warming, showing the redemptive power of love, loyalty and friendship.

Publisher's description:

An attempt to escape her past makes Bessy Buckley take a job as a maid in a big house outside Edinburgh working for the beautiful Arabella. Bessy is puzzled by her employer's increasingly strange requests and her insistence that Bessy keep a journal of her most intimate thoughts. It seems that Arabella has a few secrets of her own.
