Young adult
Fourteen-year-old Katy Ellis has always related to animals more than people. Her mother is dead and her father struggles to connect with his challenging daughter. After being bullied, she time-slips back to 1830s Yorkshire and there meets a young Emily Brontë, her ‘mirror’. Together they confront sinister patriarchal forces. But can they solve the mystery of “poor drowned Lottie” and emerge as empowered young women?
They form a close friendship and, when “Mad Lottie Pickles”, a poor village girl, is found murdered, turn detective. After the inquest, Thomas Archer, a seemingly innocent art tutor, is arrested. But why is a cast of menacing characters allowed to walk free?
The girls manage, with the help of ghostly guidance, and the sparkling energy of their friend Geraldine Heathcote (a wealthy heiress and daughter of an Indian princess) to uncover foul play. But then Geraldine herself disappears! To save her, Katy and Emily must face the worst kind of darkness: that which lurks in the human heart.
