TO BECOME ONE OF THEM, SHE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES...

1938. Gillian Larking is used to blending in and going unnoticed, until she is befriended by her new roommate at boarding school, the vibrant and spirited Violet Claybourne. As the Christmas holidays approach, Gilly can't believe her luck when Violet invites her to spend them at her home, the crumbling Thornleigh Hall.

At Thornleigh, Gilly is dazzled by the family's faded grandeur, and above all by Violet's beguiling older sisters who seem to accept her as one of their own. But following a terrible incident in the house's grounds, Gilly begins to realise the Claybourne sisters aren't quite what she thought they were. And if she's to survive in their world, she may have to become just like them . . .

批評家のレビュー

An evocative mystery . . . atmospheric and gripping. An ideal read for winter days.
A stern boarding school, a dilapidated country mansion and an old-fashioned asylum are the gloomily atmospheric settings for a gothic-tinged story that explores the troubled minds and volatile emotions of the Claybourne sisters and their erstwhile friend, the impressionable Gillian Larking in 1930s England . . . Taut, tense and melancholy, it's a brilliant claustrophobic study of gaslighting and manipulation, as a family's ambitions overwhelm their better impulses.
Atmospheric and chilling, this is one to curl up with.
A powerful and convincing portrayal of the bitter consequences of human frailty and ambition, this novel pulls the reader into its dark depths like quicksand. I couldn't put it down.
Utterly spellbinding, this is a deviously dark Gothic tale full of deception and betrayal. Atmospheric and full of secrets waiting to be untangled, I highly recommend it.
Stunning... a dark and immersive plot that becomes more gripping and sinister with every turn of the page.
Dark, chilling and tightly plotted, this is the perfect read for a winter's night.
With shades of Sarah Waters and The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox, this is a riveting story about sisters, secrets and the lengths people will go to fit in with others. I raced through it because I struggled to put it down!
A moving tale of class, duplicity and the irreversible consequences of betraying a friendship. I devoured this wonderful book.
Gothic fiction at its darkest and finest.
