On the day of her beloved grandmother’s funeral, Marta discovers that she is to become governess to the young daughter of Sir William Pritchard. Separated from her lover and discarded by her family, Marta has no choice but to journey to Pritchard’s ancient and crumbling house, Fyneshade, in the wilds of Derbyshire 

Decided to read this very well-written gothic novel because of a review at Emma's Biblio Treatures. She has also created a lovely tabletop collage to the novel.
