Mask of the Night

2.5/5 ( ratings)

The place is Ireland. The time - the turn of the century. Jenny's late mother's face is known to her only from a portrait. Then, just before her twelfth birthday, her father leaves on a trip to Europe but fails to return, killed in a freak accident. Thus she and her grandfather are left alone to face the new century. But Jenny has her friends Yvonne and Andrew for company, and also - once she discovers an old mask in the attic - a dark, handsome stranger who appears at her bedside at night, whispering dreams of the impossible.... Desiree - what kind of a name is that for a good Irish Catholic girl in 1967! Dee won't have it; in fact, the fewer who know of it, the better. Still, it was one of her mother's few foibles, and Dee's annoyance doesn't stretch to preventing visits home to Kilashane - where Dee has long been fascinated by the big ruin of a house down the boreen, and by the mysterious madman who haunts its grounds. There she catches glimpses of treasure among the shattered columns - carnival masks, wonderful hats, and faded leather diaries that tell dark stories of long-dead lives....
