In a blend of family saga and murder mystery, Josephine Pennicott's novel entwines the modern day tale of Sadie's return to her haunted family home with the murder of her notorious grandmother, Pearl, at Poet's Cottage in Pencubitt, Tasmania in the 1930's.
At times the author creates a quite chilling and foreboding atmosphere, and ghostly characters increase the feeling of suspense. The varying portrayals of the controversial Pearl by different family members and acquaintances challenge Sadie to discover the real events surrounding Pearl's death and restore the strained family relationships.
