Eliza May Drayden is already dead when the novel opens in Yorkshire, 1847. We get to know her through the lives of others, and through biographies and articles about her, for she wrote an exceptional novel. Very little is known about Eliza‘s life, and the circumstances under which she died. Apart from her novel, the only text she left behind is a mysterious notebook.
Inspired by the life and work of Emily Brontë this is quite a unique novel.
