I really liked Rose and was endeared to her very early on when we see that she has much larger dreams than the life that she is having to live. I was sneaking chapters of it between every day responsibilities because I was entirely captivated by Rose and the mysterious Mrs. This book was a much darker read than I initially expected and that is just one of the aspects that completely drew me into this book. Her obsession with what really happened in Cottingley all those years ago spirals as inexplicable events begin to occur inside her home, she begins to entertain dark thoughts about her baby and its origins. As the letters’ content grows more menacing, Rose discovers she is unexpectedly pregnant, and feels another door to the future has slammed. Rose is eager to learn more, but Charlotte allows her to read only a piece at a time, drawing Rose into her web. The letters insist there is proof that the fairies existed. She keeps an aged stack of letters about the Cottingley Fairies, the photographs made famous by Arthur Conan Doyle, but later dismissed as a hoax. Captivated by books and stories, Rose dreams of a life away from the confines of the Sunnyside Care Home she works in, until elderly resident Charlotte Favell offers an unexpected glimpse of enchantment.
