Good morning everyone sorry for lack of posts on here my kids and I have had bad colds sadly making it difficult to read or just focus on anything really.
I’m hoping to start this fantastic looking book today while the kids are at school though. I’m a huge fan of this book and think it would be a perfect October read.

Book Synopsis:
In the midst of the woods stands a house called Lichen Hall.
This place is shrouded in folklore ā old stories of ghosts, of witches, of a child who is not quite a child.
Now the woods are creeping closer, and something has been unleashed.
Pearl Gorham arrives in 1965, one of a string of young women sent to Lichen Hall to give birth. And she soon suspects the proprietors are hiding something.
Then she meets the mysterious mother and young boy who live in the grounds ā and together they begin to unpick the secrets of this place.
As the truth comes to the surface and the darkness moves in, Pearl must rethink everything she knew ā and risk what she holds most dear.
