In Thrall
By Eva Hanagan
Sometimes we all need a fresh start…
Recently-widowed Amelia Grace seizes the opportunity to escape her stifling middle-class suburban life by becoming the new occupant of Thatchers Cottage, with Ponsonby the cat her only company. Having spent her life looking after others, she’s looking forward to some peace and quiet at last.
Drawn to a small stretch of woodland at the edge of her land, she passes many hours there each day. A place of calm and natural beauty, she feels energised by the woods. But is the tranquil natural atmosphere all there is to it, or is there more to the rumours about the woods than just old wives’ tales?
As disturbing events unfold, Amelia must piece together the history surrounding her new home and discover who – or what – is living in her woods and what exactly it is they want from her… In Thrall is an emotional tale that questions the tranquillity of isolation and our relationship with the world around us.
