A novel by Diane Setterfield, the celebrated author of "The Thirteenth Tale", a recognized masterpiece of modern English prose, which made critics talk about the return of the golden age of the British novel, laden with the names of Charlotte and Emily Brontë and Daphne Dumaurier, and has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide in 40 languages.
On the darkest and longest night of the year, on the winter solstice, a ragged stranger with a dead girl in his arms walks into the ancient Swan Inn on the banks of the Thames. A few hours later, however, the girl turns up alive. What is this - a miracle? Magic? Or is there a scientific explanation? And most importantly, who is she? The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vaughan who went missing two years ago? Or perhaps the granddaughter of farmer Robert Armstrong, whose existence he had learned only the day before and never had time to see? After all, the Swan is not just the oldest inn in the county; people have long come here to hear and tell stories - current anecdotes, or old tales and legends, or fairy tales. So the story of the mysterious girl must be woven into the fabric woven by experienced storytellers for centuries ...
