Fever Hill

‘She smelt the sharp green scent of new growth, and the heavy sweetness of decay. The smell of Eden. Tomorrow it would be nothing more than a memory…’

When Sophie Monroe returns to Jamaica from England in 1903, her old home Fever Hill is unrecognisable. Her sister Madeleine appears to lead an idyllic life on the Eden estate with her husband and children. But now Eden is on the brink of bankruptcy and Fever Hill is decaying into ruin.

Everyone seems to be concealing secrets. Sophie’s childhood hero, Ben Kelly, is avoiding her, scarred by memories of his childhood in the London slums. Madeleine is also hiding something from her. But what could be so wrong that she can’t tell her own sister?

Now Sophie must face a clash of loyalties and confront the ghosts of her past.

A haunting novel of family, mysteries and buried legacies. Perfect for fans of Kate Morton, Lucinda Riley and Daphne du Maurier.
