Publisher's summary
From the best-selling author of House of Shadows and The Phantom Tree comes a spellbinding tale of jealousy, greed, plotting and revenge - part history, part mystery - for fans of Kate Morton, Susanna Kearsley and Barbara Erskine
London, 1765
Lady Isabella Gerard, a respectable member of Georgian society, orders her maid to take her new golden gown and destroy it, its shimmering beauty tainted by the actions of her brutal husband the night before.
Three months later, Lord Gerard stands at the shoreline of the lake, looking down at a woman wearing the golden gown. As the body slowly rolls over to reveal her face, it’s clear this was not his intended victim…
250 Years Later…
When a gown she stole from a historic home as a child is mysteriously returned to Fenella Brightwell, it begins to possess her in exactly the same way that it did as a girl. Soon the fragile new life Fen has created for herself away from her abusive ex-husband is threatened at its foundations by the gown’s power over her until she can't tell what is real and what is imaginary.
As Fen uncovers more about the gown and Isabella’s story, she begins to see the parallels with her own life. When each piece of history is revealed, the gown - and its past - seems to possess her more and more, culminating in a dramatic revelation set to destroy her sanity.

Another good one
Another good book from Nicola Cornick. I enjoy her timeslip stories, the back-and-forth between present and past, the lines she draws connecting people who live hundreds of years apart. I always try to figure out who’s connected. Sometimes I’m right; sometimes I’m not. I was half right in this one. The narrators did a great job and I enjoyed listening to them.

Listened to stories separately. Much better.
I started listening to this as it is written but it was difficult to keep the many characters and the stories straight. I decided to listen to the historical stories first. So the order I used was to skip every other chapter. So I listened to all of Candace and Lady Isabella first and then went to the modern day Finnela’s story. I thoroughly enjoyed it this way. The narrators are all top drawer. Wonderful actors. The story was excellent as well. I love Nicola Cornick’s writing. *****
