En Edimburgo, en la década de 1930, la familia Lennox tiene problemas con su hija menor, Esme, quien es franca, poco convencional y los avergüenza repetidamente en la alta sociedad. Algo tendrá que hacerse. Años más tarde, una joven llamada Iris Lockhart recibe una carta informándole que tiene una tía abuela en una unidad psiquiátrica que está a punto de ser liberada. Iris nunca ha oído hablar de Esme Lennox. ¿Qué pudo haber hecho Esme para merecer una vida en una institución? ¿Y cómo es posible que una persona sea borrada por completo de la historia de una familia? Esta es una historia intensa y apasionante sobre una vida robada y recuperada.
