Summary:

Maddie McGlade, a former nanny now in her nineties, writes a series of letters in which she unburdens herself of a secret she has kept for over seventy years about the death of four-year-old Charlotte Ormond, which alternate with excerpts from the prison diaries of Charlotte's mother Harriet, Maddie's one-time employer and mistress of an Irish estate, who was held responsible for the child's death.
