Description
A tense, captivating Gothic masterpiece, where The Silent Companions meets Daphne du Maurier in South America.
Winter 1913.
Ursula Kelp, a young English gardener, has come to Argentina to restore the gardens of Las Lágrimas. The long-abandoned estate lies deep in the Pampas, the vast empty grasslands of South America where the wind blows without end.
Despite warnings from the locals of terrible things that once happened there and the evil that lingers, Ursula sets out to her new post full of hope.
Yet when she arrives, all is not as promised. The garden is an untameable wilderness, the staff hostile.
Setting to work, Ursula is disturbed by the crunch of footsteps on empty gravel paths, while from the nearby forest comes the frenzied chop of an axe when no one is there. But it is only as she unlocks the secrets of the place that Ursula comes to understand the true horror she is facing.
For lurking in the trees – watching her, waiting for her – is a malevolent force that wants Las Lágrimas for itself.
Advance Praise
"A garden concealing dark secrets beneath its decay, mysterious ruins and a forest full of tangled pathways, all stranded amid the emptiness of the Argentinean pampas . . . The setting makes for a wonderfully gothic atmosphere in this intriguing historical ghost story."
Alison Littlewood, author of The Hidden People and Mistletoe
"A gripping supernatural tale in the Gothic tradition, set against the background of a sprawling Argentine estate... an impressive novel."
Marie O’Regan, author of The Last Ghost and Other Stories, and editor of Phantoms and The Mammoth Book of Ghost Stories by Women
