Amongst the old photo albums Lydia Silverstream discovers a disturbing journal, the key to one puzzle but an enigma in itself. In her attempts to re-unite the family albums with their rightfulowner, Lydia travels the country from Oxford to Essex, Cumbria to Sussex. As the story of the blighted family is pieced together from the fragments of history, the tantalizing journal with its deeper, darker secrets comes to dominate both past and present.
