This is well done and compelling. It pulled me in right away and kept me reading. We have an unreliable protagonist who is running from something and traveling to a new position as nurse maid to an elderly mistress. Her arrival in the strange household is told in part 1. Part 2 takes us back to the previous household where she was a lady's maid and tells the story of why she is running. Part 3 takes us back 40 years to learn of her current mistress and the makeup of this strange household. Then all is woven together with some supernatural elements. I enjoyed it.
