"It is London, 1880, and Lucas Jarmyn struggles to make sense of the death of his beloved youngest daughter; his wife, Aurora, seeks solace in rigid social routines; and his eighteen-year-old daughter Dinah looks for fulfilment in unusual places. Only the housekeeper, the estimable Mrs Logan, seems able to carry on. A train accident in a provincial town on the railway Lucas owns claims the life of a young child and, amid the public outcry, her father journeys to London demanding justice. As he arrives in the city on a frozen January morning he finds a family with a terrible secret tearing their lives apart."

Review:
As the days get colder and darker, nothing warms me more than a period novel. Reminiscent of Kate Summerscale and set in the Victorian era, two men of very different social classes both lose their daughters in tragic accidents. Source: Red
Maggie Joel's new novel takes us upstairs, downstairs and into the darkest corners of a Victorian household... If you like robust dramas with the occasional dash of dark humour, then you will love this. Source: Daily Telegraph (Sydney)
A page-turner full of detail and colour. Source: Saturday Age
A sombre but fascinating tale. Source: The Australian
