Description
Henry Barbour is known locally as the Bear of Barcham Wood.
Living alone in the vast and decaying splendour of Barcham Place, surrounded by wilderness and woodland, he inspires such tales of madness that no one will go near the once grand house. But when a filthy and frightening man rescues Isabella from drowning, she begins to believe her fate has taken an even darker turn.
Yet appearances can be deceptive, and an unlikely bond is created between two damaged souls who need to hide from the world.
