From the
Sunday Times
bestselling author of
The Silversmith’s Wife
comes an “undeniably page-turning (
Daily Mail
) novel: “Think
Wuthering Heights
or
Jane Eyre
, but ten times darker...as eerie and gothic as the Yorkshire Moors it is set on” (
Stylist
).
On top of the Yorkshire Moors, in an isolated spot carved out of a barren landscape, lies White Windows, a house of shadows and secrets. Here lives Marcus Twentyman, a hard-drinking but sensitive man, and his sister, the brisk widow, Hester.
When runaway Annaleigh first meets the Twentymans, their offer of employment and lodging seems a blessing. Only later does she discover the truth. But by then she is already in the middle of a web of darkness and intrigue, where murder seems the only possible means of escape...
Stunning and vividly atmospheric,
The Vanishing
is thrilling historical fiction for fans of Sarah Waters and Tracy Chevalier.
