About the book:
Ran McGhie’s world has been turned upside down. A young, lonely and frustrated writer, and suffering from mental-health problems, he discovers that his long-dead mother was related to one of Glasgow’s oldest merchant families. Not only that, but Ran has inherited Newton Hall, a vast mansion that belonged to his great-uncle, who appears to have been watching from afar as his estranged great-nephew has grown up. Entering his new-found home, he finds that Great-Uncle Fitzpatrick has turned it into a temple to the written word – the perfect place for poet Ran. But everything is not as it seems. As he explores the Hall’s endless corridors, Ran’s grasp on reality appears to be loosening. And then he comes across an ancient lift; and in that lift a mirror. And in the mirror … the reflection of a woman …

‘Disturbing but compulsive’ – what an intriguing description on the book cover!
Well it’s worth a try because I’ve seen many great reviews of it. It sounds brilliant!
I have to admit that I first was intrigued by this one because of the title. And I kept reading all the tour posts because it sounds oddly fascinating. I do hope to read this one at some point. Arrrr!

I would love to receive a copy of this. I haven’t yet read a book published by Orenda that wasn’t satisfying. Thanks
I have it bookmarked. It all started with “Jihadi”, then “The Mountain in My Shoe”, then “In Her Wake, followed by “How to Be Brave”, and most recently “Six Stories”. I loved them all. “Maria in the Moon” at the top of my TBR now.
Hearing lots of good things about this book!
Wonderful giveaway! I’d love to read this, particularly as it’s getting lots of positive reviews x
This sounds very different from anything else I’ve read. And being an avid book collector, makes this even more intriguing 📚 😊
This book sounds fantastic! I’ve added it to my Amazon.ca wishlist.
I would love to read this book it looks perfect for an Autumn night
This sounds fab, just like all of the books that orenda publish!
Sounds cool, count me in 😉
I love the sound of this book. The cover and title is brilliant with the idea of the lift and house of bookish-ness, all very interesting and a tad creepy.
Thanks for a great giveaway
