A lush and twisted dark fairy tale suffused with witchcraft, dark secrets and bitter revenge from the award-winning author of All the Murmuring Bones. Exquisite, haunting and at times brutal, readers of Naomi Novik and Erin Morgenstern will be entranced. Asher Todd comes to live with the mysterious Morwood family as a governess to their children. Asher knows little about being a governess but she is skilled in botany and herbcraft, and perhaps more than that. And she has secrets of her own, dark and terrible – and Morwood is a house that eats secrets. With a monstrous revenge in mind, Asher plans to make it choke. However, she becomes fond of her charges, of the people of the Tarn, and she begins to wonder if she will be able to execute her plan – and who will suffer most if she does. But as the ghosts of her past become harder to control, Asher realises she has no choice. From the award-winning author of All the Murmuring Bones, dark magic, retribution and twisted family secrets combine to weave a bewitching and addictive tale.

Really good storytelling! Beautifully dark story interwoven with eerie folkloric tales. Eagerly awaiting more from the author.

A story about twisted relationships. Beautiful. Told in a languid pace but parts of the story still offer action. The ending had a nice twist, and it was refreshing and also solitary. The narrator had a nice clear voice with warmth and the sadness also shining through.

Väldigt seg i början, men sen blir den riktigt bra. Hade dock gärna sett att den var något kapitel längre då slutet känns lite rörigt.
