The Golden Mirror

Set between present day and 1920s Edinburgh, The Golden Mirror follows Ella, a quiet young woman who spends her days caring for an eccentric elder in a grand old house. When she discovers a beautiful golden mirror in the attic, she is transported back a century into the city's secret past - a world of gothic asylums, forgotten gardens, and whispered tales of magic.As Ella's life intertwines with a character that she meets in the past - Lily, a bold volunteer at the local asylum- the lines between past and present begin to blur. Each journey through the mirror awakens a deeper sense of courage and purpose, leading Ella to discover the confidence she never knew she had.Although Ella lives in a genteel part of Edinburgh, her chaotic sister Janet and the handsome handyman with a turbulent past bring the grittier side of life, sometimes to the very doorstep of the grand house. The Golden Mirror is a moving tale of transformation and the quiet magic that is in all of us.
