    Summary

    "I like being on my own."

    "Only, you might not be on your own."

    Ominous! It got Marianne leaning in despite herself. "What do you mean?"

    "There's a ghost. Everyone knows. They call her The Lady in White. A poltergeist."

    It's 2019 and Marianne arrives at a remote house for a few weeks of peace and quiet. Héloïse has been trying to find some peace a lot longer.

    Summary

    Marianne is an art consultant with an interest in history, which she has been channeling into her side project: uncovering the story behind a painting of a woman on fire. When new evidence emerges, Marianne finds herself on a journey of small discoveries.

    Inspired by this post that grey wrote on Tumblr, and by the novel she mentions in the post, Possession by AS Byatt. The title is from "Shrike" by Hozier, which I discovered on a Portrait-inspired Spotify playlist entitled "the poet's choice".
