"This heart-grabber of a first novel was "inspired by" actual events that took place on the north coast of Ireland in 1892, where a prominent and wealthy woman, who had tied up her "misbehaving" young daughter and locked her in a dark and windowless wardrobe room for three hours, was convicted of murder and sent to prison after the child was found dead of asphyxia. In Bernie McGill's fictional version, also set in northern Ireland in 1892, there is a secret that adds a whole new dimension to the story--but a secret that will not be revealed for another 76 years.".(stolen from an Amazon review) Though I wasn't too thrilled with the ending the writing was wonderful and I definitely recommend it.
