Description
Wakenhyrst meets du Maurier in South America, based on the author's time spent living in Brazil. Las Lgrimas takes the classic trope of a rattling English country house and transposes it to the wilds of Buenos Aires, for a fresh, updated take on the genre.
Argentina, winter 1913.
Ursula Kelp, a young English gardener, travels to Buenos Aires to take up the role of head gardener at a long-abandoned estate.
Ursula is warned by the locals that the estate is haunted and soon she believes that her loneliness is making her imagine things the sound of footsteps outside her bedroom door, the touch of hands on her shoulders when there's no one there...
