Krátky popis
In a churchyard, villagers gather on the night when the ghosts of
those who will die in the coming year are thought to walk. Here,
where the estuary leads out to the sea, superstitions still hold
sway. Standing alone is the taxidermist's daughter. At twenty-two,
Constantia Gifford lives with her father in a decaying house: it
contains all that is left of Gifford's once world-famous museum of
taxidermy. The stuffed birds that used to grace every parlour are
out of fashion, leaving Gifford a disgraced and bitter man. The
string of events that led to the museum's closure are never spoken
of and an accident has robbed Connie of any memory of those days.
The bell begins to toll and all eyes are fixed on the church. No
one sees the gloved hands holding a garotte. As the last notes fade
into the dark, a woman lies dead. While the village braces itself
against rising waters and the highest tide of the season, Connie
struggles to discover who is responsible - and why the incident is
causing memories to surface from her own vanished years. Does she
know the figure she sees watching from the marshes? Who is the
mysterious caller that leaves a note without being seen? And what
is the secret that lies at the heart of Blackthorn House, hidden
among the bell jars of her father's workshop? The Taxidermist's
Daughter&,nbsp,is the stunning new novel from the multi-million
copy bestselling author, Kate Mosse.
