Overview: 1936: when a string of pearls belonging to a wealthy guest disappears from a locked safe at the Wheatsheaf, a hotel in the English country town of Derriford, suspicion falls on eighteen-year-old chambermaid Ann Bacon. She’s adamant that the theft has nothing to do with her, so why is the valuable necklace found hidden in her bed?
1752: an accident on the road forces a rich traveller to stay at the Cock inn just outside Derriford, where she, too, is relieved of her pearls. Patience Passey, an eighteen-year-old serving girl, becomes the scapegoat, and like Ann, she is arrested and tried.
A strange and unsettling time-slip novel, The Black Mirror (1948) explores how the effects of a past injustice can echo loudly—and devastatingly—in the present.
