Black Rabbit Hall

At Black Rabbit Hall nothing much ever happens - time seems to move slower at this idyllic holiday home in Cornwall. Until the worst thing happens and for the Alton children time feels like it's stopped altogether. Decades later, Lorna Smith is searching for her perfect wedding venue and is inexplicably drawn to the now crumbling house, unaware that her own history is locked up in those walls.
