An adaptation of Trezza Azzopardi's new novel, a compelling psychological thriller involving a young woman with a secret in her past. During a rainy summer Maggie arrives for a job interview at a large house in the country. The house is empty apart from Kenneth, an elderly man, who wants a secretary to do an unusual live-in job. He wants someone to listen to his music collection, and transcribe his impressions and memories connected to each piece of music. Kenneth is odd, isolated, perhaps on the edge of dementia, slightly threatening. But Maggie is mysterious too and she has some hidden plan in taking this job. She knows this place, she's been here before. Piece by piece, as the rain intensifies and the river begins to flood, we learn about Maggie's shocking past.
Trezza Azzopardi's novels have been short-listed for numerous awards, including the Booker. Critics praise her story-telling ability, her psychological acuity and her intense poetic atmosphere.
