About this deal

This book takes place mainly over two time periods: 1943, and 1950. In the earlier time period, Lady Anne Coke is living with her grandfather at Holkam. Her parents, who are in Egypt, hire a new governess for Anne named Miss Crane. She treats Anne absolutely horrifically, and one of Anne's escapes is to take photographs, as well develop them with her grandfather. When Anne and her friend Johnnie decide that Anne should try to take a photograph of a ghost who lives at Holkam, named Lady Mary, Anne decides to do so. Soon, she begins to stumble on more and more secrets. Mead, Rebecca (6 February 2023). "Oldest Living Aristocratic Widow Tells All". The New Yorker. Vol.99, no.1. p.23. ISSN 0028-792X .

Holkham Hall was a family home, if on a scale beyond the imagining of most families. In 1950, not long before Anne’s eighteenth birthday, her coming-out ball was held at the estate, with the woodlands festively lit by searchlights left over from the Second World War. Among those in attendance were King George VI and his wife, Elizabeth—good friends of Anne’s parents, who served the Royal Family in the antiquated roles of extra equerry and lady of the bedchamber. The staff at Holkham Hall offered guests venison that had been shot on the grounds, and champagne that had been laid down at Anne’s birth. (Perhaps too much champagne: the next morning, the body of a young gardener was found floating in a fountain. Anne was not told of the fatality until years later.)
