About the Book
A daring escape into the world of magic…
Eleanore Carey is one of a family of refugees from the Indian Mutiny, but her upbringing in India has given her a feeling for the mystery of life that is out of harmony with the traditional English atmosphere of her strait-laced aunts’ home in Gower Street.
Eudora and Minerva thoroughly disapprove of their younger sister Amy and her children, the robust, wilful eighteen-year-old Eleanore and her frail young brother, Harry.
Eleanore longs to get away from their life as unwelcome poor relations, but it is Harry who is sent away first, to a school in Highgate.
When Eleanore gains employment with an elderly gentleman called Mr Pye, it brings her into contact with Merlyn — a professional magician who helps her regain the mystique she misses from her childhood.
But can she rescue Harry from the horrors of boarding-school life? Will she find freedom within the confines of Victorian England?
And could a career on stage be the key to her happiness…?
