A gripping and powerful suspense story of love, loss, and the mysteries of memory by internationally bestselling author Joanne Harris. Out on the moor, in the snow, a house stands beneath a pylon. It is a house full of memories and old things. And, in the dark, when the pylon sings in the wind, it is a house full of ghosts and fading memories . . . The house, Kirkhill, has a new occupant--just moved in, fresh from a bitter divorce and looking for a new start. The moor is the perfect place for it: isolated, beautiful in the changing seasons, peaceful, and with just enough of the previous owners' belongings that it's a perfectly self-contained and cozy home. Only, as the nights start to draw in and the weather takes a turn, so does the house. The cozy isolation becomes menacing, animals begin acting strangely, and it seems someone could be watching the house. And the diaries of the previous owners begin to reveal a terrible tragedy which befell Kirkhill--one which its new occupant may be unable to escape.
