A truth buried deep in the past.

'Polly Crosby whips up a lush, mythical world in this dream-like novel . . . A book worm's treat!'Eve Chase, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Glass House
Tartelin Brown is all alone in the world. So when she sees an advert for a job on a remote island, she knows she has nothing to lose.
Her employer, Marianne Stourbridge, is a woman as strange and mysterious as the place she inhabits.
Tasked with hunting butterflies for Marianne's research, Tartelin quickly uncovers evidence of something even more intriguing - for Marianne has a remarkable past.
Determined to piece together the story, Tartelin must first confront her own. But what she discovers on the island is more terrible and heart-breaking than she could ever have imagined.
Atmospheric and deeply emotional, The Unravelling is the captivating novel from the author of The Illustrated Child.
