The Observations is a brilliantly original, funny and endlessly intriguing story of one woman's journey from a difficult past into an even more disturbing present. But who is really responsible for what happened to her predecessor Nora? As her past threatens to catch up with her and complicate matters further, Bessy begins to realise that she has not quite landed on her feet.
Caught up in a tangle of madness, ghosts, sex and lies, she is determined to remain devoted to Arabella. Then a childish prank has drastic consequences which throw into jeopardy all that Bessy has come to hold dear. And it seems that Arabella has a few secrets of her own - including her near-obsessive affection for Nora, a former maid who died in mysterious circumstances. Bessy is intrigued by her new employer, but puzzled by her increasingly strange requests and her insistence that Bessy keep a journal of her most intimate thoughts. In an attempt to escape her not-so-innocent past in Glasgow, Bessy Buckley - the wide-eyed Irish heroine of The Observations - takes a job as a maid in a big house outside Edinburgh working for the beautiful Arabella.
