Maine, USA
The setting of the novel is a fictional mansion very remote and on the edge of a cliff in Maine. The main character is called to become a carer of someone here.
” The patient has suffered a series of strokes many years ago and requires constant care. She had a full time nurse – a private one- who departed quite suddenly.”
When it’s asked where the house is, the answer comes as simply ‘out of town’ and ‘ on the Cliffs.”
“The Cliffs – only ridiculously rich people live there, ensconsced in massive houses atop torcky bluffs that overlook the ocean.”
