First draft
The Quiet Room at Penrhos
In 1891, a cataloguer working at a private Welsh library discovers that several books have been quietly altered, with names erased from the margins and pages replaced by careful forgeries. When a local death is linked to the missing records, she is drawn into a search that exposes old family debts, hidden correspondence and the cost of keeping a respectable house in order.
