<p>The past will always find you out... Rosamond Hunter has spent her adult life running away from the past, filled with guilt about her involuntary role in the death of her mother. Rosamond is a nurse, a kind of midwife for those leaving rather than entering life. Her work brings her back to Fairfleet, the country house at which her mother died so long ago, to nurse the dying Benny Gault, a former Kindertransport refugee from Nazi Germany. Rosamond soon discovers that Benny is hiding a secret about his last days in Germany he badly needs to confess, a secret that somehow connects with Rosamond's own family history. Just as the pair begin to unthread the mystery binding them together, a figure from the past returns to Fairfleet to menace them.</p>

The One I Was

An innocent woman was hanged in 1923 and Hitchcock would spend the next fifty odd years telling us of her innocence, but in the nicest possible way -by entertaining us. Failure to acknowledge the historical context from which Hitchcock's cinema emerged has led to unwarranted psychological speculation which undermines that basic message. This book explores that context both in terms of the often violent social change that the 20th century brought with it, but also the history of the medium of cinema itself.
