Kirsty, Avril and Bernadette all needed to get away. And, by chance, each saw the job advertisement for staff at a hotel on a remote cove in Cornwall. Kirsty needed to escape, from her violent husband and her hopeless life. Avril had always lived with her mother and father - and had a dark secret from her childhood which she was forced to face up to. And Bernadette, young and freshly emerged from her strict Catholic upbringing, was recovering from a brutally terminated love affair. But the hotel itself had its secrets, and when Kirsty found an old book called Magdalene left apparently carelessly in the lounge, she thought she might make her fortune by rewriting it. But she had to enlist the other women's help - Avril to type it out, and Bernadette to pretend to be the author. At first the scheme went swimmingly, but as Bernadette became embroiled in the London literary scene, both Kirsty's and Avril's past began to catch up with them. And then the book started to exert an extraordinary influence upon all three of them, until they discovered the horrible truth behind it.
