Description
In a large, decaying Norfolk house, Ralph and Anna Eldred have built a seemingly settled life for themselves and their four children, far removed from the missionary work that once shaped them. Yet the past—along with the moral compromises, cultural tensions, and private wounds it contains—continues to exert a powerful hold over the family. As long-suppressed memories rise to the surface, the novel examines faith, marriage, parenthood, guilt, and the uneasy legacy of colonialism. Told with Hilary Mantel’s incisive psychological insight and darkly perceptive wit, it is a compelling portrait of how buried history can transform the present.
