Chatsworth House during the Second World War. The Devonshire family make way for an evacuated girls' school, Chatsworth's grand interiors now converted to dormitories and classrooms. Pupils Ceri and Gwyneth explore these new surroundings and their history, above and below stairs. But a ghost story about a screaming woman on the bridge in the grounds seems disturbingly true - and all the more disturbing for the parallels it presents with the secret love affair they discover their charismatic teacher, Miss Cairns, is involved in....

This ghost story is set on the wild Atlantic coast of North Devon and is told through the eyes of Jenny, a girl of nearly 19, whose recently deceased grandmother Mary has bequeathed her Windover, the cottage where she is staying with her father and his girlfriend during summer vacation. Before long, Jenny is troubled by visions of two teenage girls and learns from a photograph taken in 1934 that these girls are her grandmother Mary and Mary's friend Cathy. As the days go by, Jenny finds herself drawn into tragic events that occurred nearly 80 years earlier.
