So were the old ladies who adopted Maud weirdly pleasant or just plain dastardly? I was drawn right into this story of an small-for-her-age uppity orphan who finds herself adopted by 3 elderly sisters who whisk her off to a fancy home complete with luxuries. However she must remain hidden. No one outside the sisters must know she is there. Then Maud discovers she's in league with phony mediums who are trying to con grieving people out of their money. Maud is so desperate to be loved herself, that she finds she's willing to do just about anything to stay with them. The setting of early 1900s east coast, when seances and ouija boards were all the rage, made a nice setting for a girl who has everything to lose and must choose whether or not to lose it.-Mrs. M :)
Now that I know what it is about, I'll give A Drowned Maiden's Hair another try.
