  • "Ottercombe-- duży, stary dom z widokiem na morze-- to spokojna przystań dla wszystkich, którzy pragną chwili wytchnienia. To tu Lydia Shaw zwykła czytać swoim córkom i małemu Timmiemu baśnie i inne niezwykłe historie. Tu dzieci Państwa Shaw spędziły idylliczne dzieciństwo, bawiąc się na plaży, w ogrodzie i w lasach. Teraz, po wielu latach, dwie z sióstr-- Nest i Mina-- wciąż mieszkają w tym pięknym domu rodzinnym, rozkoszując się urokami przyrody, towarzystwem trzech terierów oraz odwiedzinami ich ulubionej siostrzenicy. Spokój tego miejsca zostaje jednak zakłócony, gdy do Ottercombe przybywa Georgie, a wraz z nią-- najgłębiej spychane w przeszłość wspomnienia. Jako dziecko Georgie lubiła twierdzić, że zna wszystkie, nawet najbardziej wstydliwe tajemnice związane z domem i jego mieszkańcami. Teraz chce się nimi podzielić."
