THE MEMORY OF MIDNIGHT: a gripping and powerful historical time slip set in Elizabethan England
Pamela Hartshorne
York, 1561. On a sweltering summer day, seven-year-old Nell Appleby hides inside a wooden chest—only for someone to trap her inside. The terror of the stifling dark — and of the man who locked her in — will never leave her. Years later, married to the sadistic Ralph Maskewe, Nell clings to slivers of joy wherever she can. But when her childhood sweetheart reappears with a daring plan to flee to the New World, Nell must stay chained to the past or risk everything for freedom.
York, present day. Tess has finally escaped her controlling husband and moved with her young son Oscar into a centuries-old flat in the heart of historic York. But the past lingers in the walls. And when Tess begins to experience strange visions and memories she knows aren't her own, her grip on the present begins to unravel, and then she finds out about Nell . . .
Separated by centuries, bound by trauma, Tess and Nell’s stories lives collide. And to save herself — and her son — Tess must lay the past to rest for good.
But some secrets won’t stay buried. Not even after four hundred years.
A haunting, emotionally charged time-slip novel that weaves past and present into a gripping tale of survival and the power of reclaiming your life. Perfect for fans of Barbara Erskine, Lucinda Riley and Kate Morton.
