It is 1939 and Hetty Cartwright arrives at Lockwood Manor to oversee a natural history museum collection, whose contents have been taken out of London for safekeeping. She is unprepared for the scale of protecting her charges from party guests, wild animals, the elements, the tyrannical Major Lockwood and Luftwaffe bombs. Most of all, she is unprepared for the beautiful and haunted Lucy Lockwood.
As a little girl, my Dad and I visited the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. I always had a creepy feeling that the animals and statues would come alive and touch me!
So I was excited to have won this novel from BookishFirst! The author has a beautiful way of describing the environment and characters to make the reader feel a part of the story!
