Description
In a quiet town where old ties never truly fade, two women long separated are drawn back together, and their reunion begins to unsettle the comfortable stories they’ve each been telling themselves. As memories surface and assumptions are tested, the past returns with the force of a choice made too late—between competing loyalties, competing truths, and the costs of survival. Framed by the classic dilemma of Scylla and Charybdis, the novel explores how love, reputation, and self-preservation can become twin dangers, forcing characters to navigate narrow waters with no clean escape. With Rhoda Broughton’s sharp, observant storytelling and keen sense of social pressure, this is a psychologically driven tale of consequence, ambiguity, and the haunting power of what we refuse to say.
