About this book
A letter from Montreal unsettles Grace Danton's quiet household beside the St. Lawrence. Captain Danton and his eldest daughter, Kate, are expected to arrive, bringing an invalid guest whose identity puzzles Grace and young Eeny. Preparations for their arrival turn an ordinary rainy evening into a moment of uneasy expectation. May Agnes Fleming places the family in rooms full of old furniture, portraits and glowing fires, making domestic comfort the setting for uncertain relationships and unanswered questions.
The novel also follows private grief beneath the bustle of social life. In a later scene, Agnes spends her birthday alone, thinking of her husband, until Doctor Danton's visit offers a little human warmth. Her distress and the household's suspicions give the story an emotional pressure beyond its arrivals and introductions.
