Dalla quarta di copertina:
Hannah Marshall never thought she'd return to Linton, a Cumbrian town riddled with exhausted coal mines and permanently overhung with rain clouds.
Ten years later, seeking refuge from a jilted love affair, she finds that little has changed. The rain pours ceaselessly, her mother is still railing against the injustices of the world, and her bewitching grandmother Dora and her circle of fearsome matriarchs continue to rule the town.
But now, seeing through adult eyes, Hannah begins to understand the web of grudges and old secrets that have ensnared her hometown - and the unspoken scandal that surrounds her turbulent family.
As she faces up to her own demons, she's forced to confront the past, and the hidden truths that have scarred her life, her family and the very town itself.
