While Celeste is a terrible fraud using the sort of tricks that were common at this time Violet is completely unprepared when ghosts start to appear to her unbidden. I really felt for her as she tried to remember the many rules that bound her when in society - she is only able to be herself around Colin. She would rather walk around in Whitechapel than the fields of Wiltshire but is shy around boys and unsure of her appeal. Violet is an interesting combination of the worldy-wise and the innocent. It is here that the bulk of the action takes place. Violet, Celeste and Colin find themselves at Lord Jasper's country estate in Wiltshire to perform a seance for the best of society. Her only friend is Colin, a boy who works for Celeste, and Elizabeth - daughter of Lord Jasper who was a keen member of the Spiritualist church. Violet dreams of a life outside of the seances but can't see a way out.
