The Woman in the Mirror by Rebecca James
4.0

Perfect for lovers of haunted houses and gothic tales, The Woman in the Mirror is a story told in dual perspectives that explores loss, love, and obsessive vengeance. For Alice, Winterbourne is a refuge after World War II has ended. There she finds comfort in the twin children she's found a job as governess for. Even as strange and sometimes terrifying things begin to happen, she clings to the hope she may find a place for herself permanently with the de Greys. For Rachel, Winterbourne is a mystery surrounding a family she's never known. Having been adopted as a baby, she's always wondered where she came from. That all changes when a letter arrives saying she's been willed Winterbourne as the last living de Grey descendant. While both women seek to find themselves, they're each faced with the truth that something is haunting Winterbourne, it doesn't want them there, and it won't stop until they either leave or die.
