Seraphine Mayes and her brother Danny are the first twins born at Summerbourne House, but their birth is marred by tragedy: their mother’s suicide and the mysterious flight of their au pair. Now twenty-five and grieving her father's recent death, Seraphine discovers a family photograph from the day of their birth, showing only one baby with their parents. This revelation leads her to question her identity and the truth behind her mother’s death. As she delves deeper, Seraphine becomes obsessed with the idea that she and Danny may not be twins after all and that the au pair, who vanished that fateful day, may hold the key to their family’s dark secrets. The narrative is described as entrancing and atmospheric, reminiscent of classics, and features vivid characters and a tightly woven plot that culminates in a jaw-dropping climax. Readers are captivated by the mystery and intrigue, with many noting the book as a gripping page-turner that keeps them engaged until the last page. The story promises a blend of family secrets, gothic elements, and a shocking denouement, making it a compelling debut from a promising new author.
