Their lives are solitary, devoid of any human contact or communication. Until the day Zohra Dasgupta, a young postwoman, delivers an extraordinary letter – from a woman claiming to be their long-lost sister, whom they believed to have been murdered fifty years earlier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis unexpected turn of events sets off a captivating narrative that unfolds like a intricate puzzle. Is the woman an impostor, or is she truly their sister? If she is genuine, what transpired all those years ago to cause such a tragic separation? And why are the brothers such recluses, retreating from the world and each other?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdding to the intrigue is Zohra herself. Once a bright and outgoing teenager, she is the only friend from her school days who remains in her life. Crispin, a laidback individual, has roped her into the restoration of an old railway line on his father's land. The project requires the acquisition of some carriages, and Zohra finds herself at the center of a peculiar dilemma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith wry humor and a cast of characters as delightful as they are damaged, Clare Morrall weaves an engrossing story of past misdeeds and present reckoning.
