Here, too, are a host of other tales, all with a touch of the unexpected...A happily married woman has an affair – with a man who died in the First World War...Who is the little girl on the swing in the garden – and why does only Charlotte see her? And how can a traveller find herself transported suddenly from her airplane seat to the snowy Canadian wastes below? Suspense, romance, passion, unexpected echoes of the past – vintage Barbara Erskine, and storytelling at its most compelling.
