In the late nineteenth century, Charlotte Bell is growing up at Fayne, a vast, lonely, and isolated estate straddling the border between England and Scotland, where she has been kept from the world by her adoring father, Lord Henry Bell, owing to a mysterious condition . . .   

Beloved writer Ann-Marie MacDonald (Fall on Your Knees, The Way the Crow Flies, and Adult Onset) returns with Fayne, a tale of science, magic, love, identity, and gothic intrigue to construct a world that is as beguiling as it is treacherous. 

"MacDonald is wildly successful in creating a rich Victorian world as seen through a young person’s eyes.  With its tenderness and twists that recall Charles Dickens' Bleak House and the upstairs-downstairs dynamics of shows like Downton Abbey, MacDonald’s Fayne is a paean to the act of storytelling and a triumph that challenges the constructs of gender.” -- Quill and Quire
