A proposito di questo titolo
A highly accomplished debut novel about our capacity for curiosity - and our dangerous entitlement to it - which reminds us the scariest ghosts aren’t those that go bump in the night but those that are born and create a place for themselves in the human soul.
Jeff is dying. Haunted by memories and grappling with the shame of his desires, he runs away to remote Scotland with a piece of experimental tech that allows him to enter the mind of someone in the past. Instructed to use it only three times, Jeff - self-indulgent, isolated and deteriorating - ignores this advice.

But Leonora’s ability to embrace her new life is shadowed by a dark presence that begins to lurk behind her eyes, and strange visions that bear no resemblance to anything she has ever seen or known....
