| Summary: | In 1920s Edinburgh, Scotland, Evelyn Hazard is a young, middle-class housewife living the life she's always expected, until her husband, Robert, upends everything with a startling announcement. He can communicate with the dead. The couple is pulled into the spiritualist movement, a religious society of mediums and psychics that emerged following the mass deaths of the Spanish flu and First World War and Evelyn's carefully composed world begins to unravel. And when long-held secrets from her past threaten to come to the surface, presenting her with the prospect of losing all she holds dear, Evelyn finds herself unable to avoid the question. Is the man she loves a fraud, a madman or-most frighteningly, is he telling the truth? |
