escalator

Some enemies wear familiar faces. Some truths are buried so deep, they forget how to scream. In a house where silence speaks louder than screams, one family teeters on the edge of collapse. A weary mother haunted by something she can't name. A father who vanishes each morning with the lie of routine. A little girl who smiles too wide and watches too closely. And at the center of it all, a narrator trying to hold it together-calm, observant, always watching. As the days grow darker and the cracks in their home widen, long-buried secrets begin to claw their way to the surface. Something is very wrong here. But no one says a word. No one asks the right questions.

The story follows Eleanor Whitford, who tells firsthand about life in Valemont: dancing, gossip, social obligations. When Lord Harroway arrives in town, Eleanor finds him arrogant and presumptuous. However, over time, he will discover that behind his coldness hides a sensitive and fair man. Between misunderstandings, secret letters, elegant dances and intrigues of friendships and marriages, Eleanor will learn that true love is never simple - but that is precisely what makes it valuable. Main characters: • Eleanor Whitford → protagonist and narrator. She is 19 years old, intelligent, proud and with a sharp tongue. • Lord Nathaniel Harroway → a rich landowner who has just arrived in Valemont, apparently cold and detached. • Clara Whitford → Eleanor's younger sister, romantic and naive. • Mr. Edmund Greyson → charming young officer, much loved by the girls of the city. • Lady Margaret Ashwell → family friend, very snobbish and gossipy. • Sir Jonathan Whitford → father of Eleanor and Clara, a kind but distracted gentleman.
