A fierce blend of Gothic ghost
story and Victorian novel of manners that’s also pitch perfect for our current
cultural moment
Iseult Wince is a Victorian
woman perilously close to spinsterhood whose distinctly unpleasant father is
trying to marry her off. She is awkward, plain, and most pertinently, believes
that her mother, who died in childbirth, lives in the scar on her neck.
Iseult’s father parades a host of unsuitable candidates before her, the
majority of whom Iseult wastes no time frightening away. When at last her
father finds a suitor desperate enough to take Iseult off his hands—a man whose
medical treatments have turned his skin silver—a true comedy of errors ensues.
As history’s least conventional courtship progresses into talk of marriage,
Iseult’s mother becomes increasingly volatile and uncontrollable, and Iseult is
forced to resort to extreme, often violent, measures to keep her in check.
As the day of the wedding
nears, Iseult must decide whether (and how) to set the course of her life, with
increasing interference from both her mother and father, tipping her ever
closer to madness, and to an inevitable, devastating final act.
