About this ebook
In 1978, graduate student Alice North comes to Vesperwick to catalogue the family papers before a proposed sale. Beneath the servants' stair she finds a governess's blue winter journal, a book whose pages refuse to remain a settled account of the past.
With Peter Shaw, Alice traces payments, separated mothers, and the names a powerful family worked to suppress. As the schoolroom and its archive face destruction, preserving the journal demands choices that will reach into her daughter's life. In the present, Clara North and Edward Vale confront the omissions that still protect the estate - and the silences within their own alliance.
