This edition is ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of mid-20th century fiction and South African literature.

When Charlotte Lennox, a recently widowed South African woman, relocates to London in hopes of a fresh start, she finds herself drawn into the secrets of a quiet cul-de-sac known as "the Mews." What begins as a quiet life soon tangles her in a mystery involving hidden pasts, veiled identities, and dangerous entanglements. With themes of displacement, belonging, and resilience, Joy Packer crafts a novel that is as psychologically astute as it is thrilling.
