MRS ENGLAND - STACEY HALLS KARTONIERT (TB)

Something's not right here. In the house. With the family.'   West Yorkshire  1904. When newly
graduated nurse Ruby May takes a position looking after the children of Charles and Lilian
England  a wealthy couple from a powerful dynasty of mill owners  she hopes it will be the
fresh start she needs. But as she adapts to life at the isolated Hardcastle House  it becomes
clear there's something not quite right about the beautiful  mysterious Mrs England.  Distant
and withdrawn  Lilian shows little interest in her children or charming husband  and is far
from the 'angel of the house' Ruby was expecting. As the warm  vivacious Charles welcomes Ruby
into the family  a series of strange events forces her to question everything she thought she
knew. Ostracised by the servants and feeling increasingly uneasy  Ruby must face her demons in
order to prevent history from repeating itself. After all  there's no such thing as the perfect
family - and she should know.  Simmering with slow-burning menace  Mrs England is a portrait of
an Edwardian marriage  weaving an enthralling story of men and women  power and control 
courage  truth and the very darkest deception. Set against the atmospheric West Yorkshire
landscape  Stacey Halls' third novel proves her one of the most exciting and compelling new
storytellers of our times.  'The new Hilary Mantel' Cosmopolitan
