Stitch by perfect stitch, Andrew Garvie makes exquisite dolls in the finest antique style. Like him, they are diminutive, but graceful, unique & with surprising depths.
Perhaps that's why he answers the enigmatic personal ad in his collector's magazine.
Letter by letter, Bramber Winters reveals more of her strange, sheltered life in an institution on Bodmin Moor, & the terrible events that put her there as a child.
Andrew knows what it is to be trapped; & as they knit closer together, he weaves a curious plan to rescue her.
On his journey through the old towns of England he reads the fairytales of Ewa Chaplin
- potent, eldritch stories which, like her lifelike dolls, pluck at the edges of reality & thread their way into his mind.
When Andrew & Bramber meet at last, they will have a choice
- to remain alone with their painful pasts or break free &, unlike their dolls, come to life.
