Growing up in colonial India she is physically cossetted by servants, but emotionally neglected by all. When her parents die and she’s shipped back to England to live with her new guardian, a reclusive uncle, it seems at first her loneliness will only deepen. Spoiled and unfriendly, she keeps everyone at a distance. And anyway who would she be friends with? Her uncle is almost never to be seen, and with Mary seemingly the only child in a huge northern manor house, it appears that nothing will change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat is, until Martha the maid sends her out into the grounds, and she finds a locked garden gate.
