Pages : 548
Book Description
While on a vacation in the Lake District, England, Florence Hamilton meets Lance Ramsey, and immediately events take a mysterious turn. To her astonishment, Florence's second-hand camera takes photos of events - some serene and some shockingly disturbing - that are radically different from the scene before her. The mystery intensifies when Lance shows Florence a remote, uninhabited house deep in the countryside. As the initial attraction between Florence and Lance matures and as further mysterious events follow, disparate in nature and dispersed geographically, the two start to question both if there is a larger connection between these events, and if the nature of time is beyond a linear understanding.
