In her conversations with the houses, the bed knobs, the books and the tea cups she finds comfort and begins the painful recall of the lost time aided by her bossy and competent alter ego Anna. She wants to have an answer, ''Where is she now? to find the calm promised in the hymns of her childhood, 'lay down your burden'. The reader becomes aware that maybe Rosemary isn't as irrational as she first appears and that her family is maybe not as supportive as first thought.A surprise ending reveals the answer and poses more questions.The novel is set in a fictional amalgam of two small English towns and the descriptive settings support and enhance the mood at each turn of the story.
