Inside her new home lies a locked door, beyond which is a painted wooden figure-a silent companion-that bears a striking resemblance to Elsie herself. But pregnant and widowed just weeks after their wedding, with her new servants resentful and the local villagers actively hostile, Elsie has only her late husband’s awkward cousin for company. When Elsie married handsome young heir Rupert Bainbridge, she believed she was destined for a life of luxury. Laura Purcell's THE SHAPE OF DARKNESS is now out from Penguin! “ extraordinary, memorable and truly haunting book.” - Jojo Moyes, #1 New York Times bestselling author
