My story begins and concludes at railway stations, even though I am unable to recognize this fact at the time of disembarking from the boat-train at Victoria on that warm May afternoon.

Growing up in a strict religious family in the 1920s, Annie Lang witnesses unsettling events that no one can explain. Only the family dog may hold the key to the answers.

Six years later, student Annie returns from France to find her beloved brother in a mental hospital and her ally, the Sunday school teacher, gone without a trace. With the help of her childhood diary and her sister Beatrice, Annie becomes a detective to uncover the truth.

Her journey leads her to a discovery so disturbing that she believes it will ruin all their lives unless they can atone for the past. Ros Franey beautifully captures the moment when a child can sense and, indeed, dissent against secrets that adults believe they are too young to grasp.

Impulsive, brave, and lovable, Annie Lang is formidable when she takes matters into her own hands.
