Synopsis
Mystery, manners, and the margins of society in a Victorian house with secrets.
This novel follows Emmie Trevor as she steps into Myst Court, a Wiltshire estate where duty to others clashes with privilege. Guided by her thoughtful uncle, Captain Arrows, and joined by her spirited brother Vibert, she learns that charity requires more than a kind gesture—it asks for care, restraint, and real understanding of those in need. Through rooms with memories and a surrounding world of tenants, children, and neighbors, the story explores how a single household can test the spirits of both givers and receivers.
- A richly drawn Victorian setting with a family navigating duty, wealth, and the daily work of helping others
- Gentle, socially aware scenes of district visiting, alms-giving, and the complicated consequences of kindness
- A house with history and secrets that shape the characters’ choices and fears
- Character-driven moments of growth, doubt, and resilience as the household faces challenges near and far

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a haunting exploration of the influence our surroundings have on our character. The author transports us to the life of Captain Arrows, a naval officer, who visits his relatives and finds they are preparing to leave their pleasant home to move to their newly inherited property, Myst Court. Myst Court has a sinister reputation as a haunted house, and the author draws parallels between its hidden chambers and the secret places within our own hearts where hidden sins may lurk. The characters in the book must grapple with the question of self-knowledge as they confront their own weaknesses and face the challenges of their new home. The book is set in the Victorian era and considers the tensions between the rational and the supernatural, while also exploring themes of family, faith, and the nature of good and evil. This book offers a rich tapestry of characters and events, while delving into the depths of human nature, making it a compelling read for those interested in historical fiction, psychological drama, and the enduring power of family.
