    Summary

    It was Wednesday now and Helen was dying, evidently—the fall a symptom and not the cause, the doctor was quick to assure them. Naturally, Carol disagreed. No, Helen was not dying. Yes, it was all Carol’s fault; two statements that could only coexist in the beautifully, brilliantly flawed mind of one Carol Sturka—bestselling author, loving wife, masochist extraordinaire.

    Summary

    Zosia Zulawski, a Polish art restorer with crippling anxiety, arrives at an isolated Yorkshire village to uncover a medieval mural hidden beneath centuries of whitewash.

    Carol Sturka, an American archaeologist based in England, is digging up the grounds beside the same church, looking for a grave that may or may not exist.

    Two women used to uncovering what time buried.

    The mural reveals itself slowly. The excavation deepens its meaning. And something between them begins to surface.
