The Quickening

"1925. Louisa Drew lost her husband in the First World War and her six-year-old twin sons in the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918. Newly re-married to a war-traumatised husband and seven months pregnant, Louisa is asked by her employer to travel to a manor in Sussex where she is to photograph the contents of the house. She learns that Clewer Hall was host to an infamous seance in 1896, and that the lady of the house has gathered together those who attended almost thirty years ago to recreate the evening. When a mysterious child appears on the grounds, Louisa finds herself compelled to investigate and becomes embroiled in the strange happenings of the house. Gradually, she unravels the long-held secrets of the inhabitants... and discovers her own fate is entwined with Clewer Hall's."--Provided by publisher.
