Sadie loves her daughter and will do anything to keep her safe.
She can’t tell her why they had to leave home so quickly – or why Robin’s father won’t be coming with them to London.
She can’t tell her why she hates being back in her dead mother’s house, with its ivy-covered walls and its poisonous memories.
And she can’t tell her the truth about the school Robin’s set to start at – a school that doesn’t welcome newcomers.
Sadie just wants to get their lives back on track.
London, England
Sadie moves back from New York with her daughter, Robin, into her deceased mother’s old house. This is quite a change and they both have to navigate many twists and turns in life.
The daughter heads to an elite private school and Sadie returns to legal practice. The family live in North London.
The scene setting takes place at the school gates (where a LOT of emotions happen), a scandalous court case, and the poisonous and twisted memories of keep popping up.
There is no school Ashams like the one in the novel but fun to try and find it!
