The Somnambulist

Book Description

Every heart holds a secret...

But some secrets are better left buried.

When seventeen-year old Phoebe Turner visits Wilton's Music Hall to watch her Aunt Cissy performing on stage, she risks the wrath of her mother Maud who marches with the Hallelujah Army, campaigning for all London theatres to close. While there, Phoebe is drawn to a stranger, the enigmatic Nathaniel Samuels.

When offered the position of companion to Nathaniel's reclusive wife, Phoebe leaves her life in London's East End for Dinwood Court in Herefordshire.

But Phoebe is soon to discover that Dinwood Court may well be haunted - and holds the darkest of truths...

In her gloriously gothic debut, Essie Fox weaves a spellbinding tale of guilt and deception, regret and lost love.

'VIVIDLY COMPELLING, DARK AND DAZZLING' Katherine Webb

'A novel which I am enjoying so much that I was up at six this morning to relish it ... riven with suspense, has made my imagination wander, and my fingers itch to turn the last page' Jojo Moyes
