Overview

Kate Tranter is fatherless – or is she? The evidence of the tombstone she finds in the churchyard seems conclusive. And yet ...The tombstone disappears and Kate is left with a mystery about which her family either knows nothing or will tell nothing. Her search for the truth leads her to Sattin Shore: and the way to Sattin Shore turns out to be a way into the past. Her two elder brothers, her grandmother, her new friend Anna and her missing father all have a part to play in Kate's search to fit the jigsaw pieces of past and present to find a new picture for the future.

Author Information

Philippa Pearce was an English author of children's books. Her most famous work is the time slip fantasy novel Tom's Midnight Garden, which won the 1958 Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising the year's outstanding children's book by a British subject. Pearce was four times a commended runner up for the Medal. The peculiar relationship between the old and the very young is a constant theme in Philippa's writing and when, late in life, she had the unexpected delight of two small grandsons, it gave her a renewed burst of creative energy. She called being a grandmother a privilege, a rare, almost inexplicable pleasure not just fun but something different, more. Philippa Pearce died in December 2006. Helena Bonham Carter, CBE is an award winning English actress of great versatility, one of the UK's finest and most successful. She has performed on stage and radio as well as on screen for film and television. Helena is best known for her roles in Les Miserables (2012), Cinderella (2015), The King’s Speech (2010), Ocean’s 8 (2018) and as Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter series.
