She has employed a young woman named Tartelin to hunt for butterflies so she can continue her research on the species. Marianne is a stern old lady, she’s reclusive, wheelchair bound and carries a secret from her past that has left its mark on her. There is a deserted military base at one end of the island and Dogger Bank House, Marianne’s residence at the other. The story is set on a tiny island called Dohhalund which had belonged to Marianne Stoubridge’s family for hundreds of years.
The writing is beautiful and has a slightly dark atmospheric feel to it, it was the perfect read for me! The author is a skilful story teller, but don’t let the gorgeous cover make you think this is a happy story about butterflies because it’s far from it. I absolutely loved The Women of Pearl Island by Polly Crosby! The story was mysterious and intriguing throughout and I couldn’t put it down.
