In Australia, Emma Tilby has married Richard Laddisbrock, the son of a wealthy English landowner, but until the day of the marriage, she doesn’t know his true identity. After twelve years of heat and drought, Emma dreams of returning to the cool green lanes and soft climate of England.
Emma could never have envisaged the dramatic circumstances that would bring this dream to reality. After a nine-month voyage back to the land of her birth, she finds herself sitting in a high-class carriage with a husband who she suspects does not love her, heading for a family who she believes will never accept her.
On a visit to her brother Robert, who now owns Claydon House, where she was once a servant, Emma’s past dramatically catches up with her, leaving her with a man’s body to find and a spirit to lay to rest. But how much should she reveal about herself and her past?
