ELIZABETH BROOKS grew up in Chester, and read Classics at Cambridge. Her debut novel CALL OF THE CURLEW was shortlisted for the Waverton Good Reads award. The setting for her new novel, THE WHISPERING HOUSE, is a manor house named Byrne Hall and is inspired by the home of Agatha Christie. It is full of dark corners and old portraits that carry untold stories of their subjects. Elizabeth Brooks lives on the Isle of Man with her husband and children.
Like Daphne du Maurier…powerfully conjures up a place, a time, and a story that are unforgettable. -- ROSAMUND LUPTON An atmospheric, beautifully paced novel about sacrifice, the urge to belong and revenge. It's full of well-drawn characters I loved to hate, and those that I didn't want to let go, even after I closed the last page. -- CLAIRE FULLER A beautifully written, atmospheric novel -- reminiscent of Jane Eyre... bewitching and haunting -- EOWYN IVEY Melodic and beautiful * Prima * Really special * Good Housekeeping *
