Eva moves the furniture : a novel / Margot Livesey.

Livesey, Margot. (Author).

Summary:

Eva McEwen is the engaging central character in Livesey's newest novel, set in Scotland in the early 1900s. Eva draws her first breath as her mother's life ebbs away under the strain of a laborious birth. Raised by her father and the practical Aunt Lily, Eva grows to be quite a respectable woman, but throughout her life she keeps a closely guarded secret about the "companions" who come and go in her life at their leisure. These specters most commonly take the form of a woman and a young girl, and they can be helpful as well as mischievous, often underhandedly manipulating events in Eva's life.
