I picked this book up because It seemed so interesting to me that the writer took a true story and mixed it with fiction about a death of a daughter of an aristocratic Irish family at the end of the nineteenth century.This story narrates between the mother Harriet Orman who is in prison who has a journal she writes in and tells her side of the story of how her daughter Charolotte died,Then we hear from the nanny Maddie Mcglade and her take on what happened that day seventy years ago when the daughter was killed. Of Both stories I found Maddies more interesting to listen to.It will definatley keep your interes.Because Harriet loves butterflies we do get to learn a little about them.Their our twists and plots that will keep you reading.You could also say that this book is about child abuse even though they didn't call it back then.I didn't want to put this book down.I highly recommend it.You will also find out a secret Maddies been hiding for seventy years that she retells to Anne who is descend from Harriets daughter who was born in prison.
