About The Observations
In 1863 Scotland, Bessy Buckley escapes her Glasgow past by taking a maid’s job at Castle Haivers, where her employer Arabella becomes fascinated by her reading, writing, and private thoughts. Journals, secrets, a dead former maid, and Bessy’s curiosity draw her into a gothic web of ghosts, lies, and danger.
