Synopsis
In the Marches, a country far enough east that small magic works, Taveth keeps house at Applekirk Manor. She is gifted with an unusual sight: she perceives the present, the past and the future laid over one another. The novel follows the household and the farming community around it through ordinary work, family ties, food, religion and politics, while larger events press in from beyond the Marches. The world is built so that the rules of magic, thought and time shift depending on how far east or west one travels.
