White People

In the misty reaches of remote Scotland, a young girl possesses a gift that sets her apart: she can see what remains invisible to everyone around her. What begins as a lonely burden becomes a journey into mysterious territories where the veil between worlds grows thin. As she navigates her strange sight, she encounters figures and truths that challenge everything she believed about the living and the dead. Frances Hodgson Burnett, at the height of her spiritualist fascination, weaves a tale that is less about ghosts than about the human hunger to believe that love transcends death. The story carries the peculiar warmth and melancholy that defined Burnett's later work, when she turned from children's fantasies to explore darker, more ambiguous terrain. It is a meditation on perception, on what we choose to see, and on the comfort and terror of knowing that something lies just beyond the edge of ordinary sight.
