The Mill River Recluse. Sehnsucht nach Mill River, englische Ausgabe

Disfigured by the blow of an abusive husband, the widow Mary McAllister has spent almost sixty years secluded in a white marble mansion overlooking the town of Mill River, Vermont. Her links to the outside world are few: the mail, an elderly priest, and a bedroom window with a view of the town below. Most longtime residents of Mill River consider the marble house and its occupant peculiar, and few of them have ever seen Mary. But three newcomers, a police officer and his daughter and a new schoolteacher, are curious about the reclusive old woman. Only the town priest truly knows the Mill River recluse, and the secret she keeps ...a secret that, once revealed, will change the town, and the lives of its residents, forever.
