About this book
In Victorian London, a young thief raised among petty criminals is enlisted in a scheme to defraud a sheltered heiress living in a gloomy country house. Sent to serve as her maid, she finds the plan complicated by intimacy, pity and desire, while the house and its unsettling master hold secrets of their own. Told in close, vivid first-person voices, the novel moves between rookery streets, asylums and shuttered rooms, and pivots on reversals that recast everything already read. Atmospheric, sensational and tightly plotted, it blends period detail with psychological acuity and a persistent sense of dread.
