Thomasina Coverly, the daughter of the house, studies with her tutor &
friend of Lord Byron, Septimus Hodge. Thomasina is a precocious teenager with
ideas about mathematics well ahead of her time but whose end to her work is an
unsolved mystery. In the present day, Hannah Jarvis is a writer investigating a
hermit who once lived on the grounds. As Hannah’s investigations unfold, helped
by Valentine Coverly, a post-graduate student in mathematical biology, the
truth about what happened in 1809 is gradually revealed.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"></span></p>
