Elizabeth has been married to Michael for ten years. She has adjusted to a fairly monotonous routine with her wealthy, decent but boring husband. Part of this routine involves occasional visits to Beinn Caorrun, the dank and gloomy house in a Scottish glen that Michael inherited. There are memories there that Michael will not share with her.

But then Michael begins to change. It starts when he thinks he sees, in a picture, the figure of a girl on a landing. As he changes, life becomes so much more fun and Elizabeth sees glimpses of a man she can fall in love with at last. But who - or what - is changing Michael ...?

Paul Torday burst on to the literary scene in 2007 with his first novel, SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN, an immediate international bestseller that has been translated into 28 languages and has been made into a film starring Ewan McGregor, Kristin Scott Thomas and Emily Blunt. His subsequent novels, THE IRRESISTIBLE INHERITANCE OF WILBERFORCE, THE GIRL ON THE LANDING, THE HOPELESS LIFE OF CHARLIE SUMMERS, MORE THAN YOU CAN SAY, THE LEGACY OF HARTLEPOOL HALL and LIGHT SHINING IN THE FOREST, were all published to great critical acclaim. He was married with two sons by a previous marriage, had two stepsons, and lived close to the River North Tyne. He died at home in December 2013.

Clare Wille has been working as an actress and voiceover artist since graduating from RADA in 1997. Her theatre credits include SEEING WITHOUT LIGHT and LOOK BACK IN ANGER.

Reviews

Told by husband and wife, this intriguing story of the impact of ghostly visitors is an unusual exploration of mental illness What starts as a tale of domestic disharmony evolves into a gripping, ghostly page-turner The finale is terrifying, harking back to old-fashioned ghost stories, but with a modern, plausible twist - it stood the hairs of my arms on end Torday skilfully maintains a knife-edge tension... an original and satisfying thriller A gently comic novel about schizophrenia sounds like the worst idea ever, but Torday pulls it off magnificently.. a clever, gripping novel Paul Torday's third and extremely accomplished novel.. is another tour de force from one of our best emerging writers Compelling and totally captivating His prose remains anything but safe. It is supple, skilful and literary... this is a fabulously good yarn The author of SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN impresses again with this absorbing tale of identity A fantastically gripping and chilling novel A compulsively readable psychological thriller... Torday's ability to keep the reader in the grip of a nightmare is exceptional Torday is a gifted writer, I loved it Expand reviews
