From the back cover
When a young widow and her son take rooms in the crumbling Wildfell Hall, the district decides she is proud, secretive, and too strange with her boy by half. They are not wrong that she is hiding something. They are only wrong about what.
In the diary she finally surrenders, Helen tells the truth she has carried alone: that she married a beautiful, dissolute man certain she could save him, and watched, year by year, as something patient moved into him through the bottle and began to hollow him out. It fed on his ruin. It was teaching her son to hunger the same way. Some thirsts are not your own. One of them is patient.
A gothic retelling of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, the book that completes the Brontë sisters.
