Produktinformasjon
<p>"Much more than a ghost story… One might say that Fox is haunted by the spirit of the place and time of which she writes, and she is able to reproduce in a remarkable way that sense of foreboding and mystery that all of us have experienced.” – <em>The Argus</em></p><p>Where once a Romano-British settlement sprawled across the hills in the north of England, there lies a modern town.
