Summary

Intriga y sentimientos se entrelazan en una historia romántica y misteriosa que emocionará a los lectores de Kate Morton, La villa de las telas o Las siete hermanas.

Una majestuosa casa señorial en la campiña inglesa.
Un secreto que no debe ser descubierto.

La primera vez que Charlotte se encuentra frente a la hermosa mansión de Chalk Hill, en las verdes colinas de Surrey, se queda sin aliento: la imponente villa, coronada por una torre y rodeada de árboles centenarios, es el lugar más fascinante que ha visto nunca. Allí confía en comenzar una nueva vida tras haber tenido que abandonar Berlín por un escándalo que ha comprometido su reputación como institutriz.

Ha sido llamada para cuidar a la pequeña Emily, pero pronto Charlotte se da cuenta de que una extraña atmósfera se cierne sobre la casa: el silencio es casi irreal, el padre de Emily se muestra frío y reservado y la niña sufre terribles pesadillas desde la trágica desaparición de su madre. Preocupada por el bien de Emily, trata de averiguar más acerca de la muerte de Lady Ellen, pero nadie en Chalk Hill parece preparado para romper el silencio. Solo con la ayuda del periodista Thomas Ashdown, Charlotte podrá enfrentarse a la oscura verdad que esconden sus antiguos muros.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Intrigue and emotion come together in a romantic and mysterious story that will thrill readers and fans of Kate Morton, Anne Jacobs, and Lucinda Riley.
 
A grandiose manor house in the English countryside. A secret that should never be revealed.
 
The first time Charlotte sees the beautiful Chalk Hill mansion in the green hills of Surrey, she is left breathless: the imposing villa, topped off by a majestic tower and surrounded by ancient trees, is the most fascinating place she has ever seen. There, she hopes to start a new life after leaving Berlin due to a scandal that tainted her reputation as a governess.
 
At the Chalk Hill mansion, she has been hired to take care of little Emily, but soon Charlotte realizes that a strange atmosphere looms over the house: the silence is almost unreal, Emily's father is cold and reserved, and the girl suffers terrible nightmares due to her mother’s tragic disappearance.
 
Concerned about Emily's well-being, she tries to find out more about Lady Ellen's death, but no one in Chalk Hill seems willing to break the silence. It is only with the help of journalist Thomas Ashdown that Charlotte is able to confront the dark truth that hides within the mansion’s ancient walls.
