Blame
aManda harleCh
After an unsatisfying relationship, twenty-five-yearold
Graye Weston falls immediately under the spell
of Anthony Tierney, a virile gentleman farmer whose
crumbling country pile contains long-buried family
secrets. Abandoning London for a life of rustic seclusion
at Oerley Hall, Graye finds herself feeling increasingly
isolated as her wedding day approaches, troubled by
mysterious noises in the night and the many unanswered
questions concerning her fiancé’s background.
What was the real fate of Anthony’s brother Lyonel,
and how is it connected with his time in Tuscany twenty
years previously? Who is the tall, debonair stranger
and why does his visit to the Hall infuriate Anthony?
And whose are the nocturnal footsteps in the attic?
Moving backwards and forwards from the 1960s to
the present day, Amanda Harlech’s captivating debut
is a Gothic romance in the tradition of Jane Eyre and
Rebecca, telling a powerful and moving story in vivid,
impressionistic prose.
