GENERAL & LITERARY FICTION. 'History is boring; and what does it have to do with us?' Much as Harry Flint tries to fight against the beliefs of his pupils, there are times when he wonders if they are right. With a failed marriage behind him, he sets about changing his own life and researching that of his ancestors. How can the mysterious disappearance of Anne Flint in 1816 and the drowning of a young girl in the chalk stream when the Prince Regent occupied the throne possibly affect him? But the deeper he digs, the more he realises that the past is closer than he had ever imagined. Set in the Hampshire countryside, The Haunting is a story of love and betrayal, intrigue and murder. Where people are not what they seem and the past is no more predictable than the future.
