Summary
John Finbow, a successful writer, and his wife, Kay, move into Southcombe rectory, a large Victorian house that has been empty since the 1960s. It had previously been owned by the Cuthbertson family, who had lived there for generations. Their marriage is under strain, as John, 39, would like children before he gets too old, but Kay, 34, does not.
When John is working in his study soon after moving in, he is disturbed by the sight of a young woman who appears out of the blue on his sofa. Emily Cuthbertson, whose old bedroom is now John’s study, was 25 at the time of her death and the youngest of eight offspring of the late Reverend Arthur Cuthbertson and his wife, Delia. Emily had died in 1868, but is now unwilling to leave behind her old life, due to having missed out on a family of her own whilst being a companion to her widowed mother. Emily is still desperate for a husband and children, and John is the answer to her dreams.
One hundred and thirty years separate them. Will Emily and John’s love survive time’s relentless march?
