Mirrorland is a literary fiction book by author Carole Johnstone.
The exploration of the dark, winding and rich atmosphere of the power of the imagination.
Mirrorland is a suspenseful psychological thriller about twin sisters, the man they both love, the house that haunts them, and the childhood stories they can’t leave behind.
Cat lives in Los Angeles, away from 36 Westeryk Street, the imposing gothic house in Edinburgh where she and her estranged twin sister, El, grew up. They invented Mirrorland, a dark, fantasy place under the pantry stairs, full of pirates, witches and clowns. Cat rarely thinks about their childhood home, or the fact that El now lives there with her husband, Ross.
When El mysteriously disappears after hanging out on her sailboat, Cat is forced to return to 36 Westeryk Street, which hasn’t changed in twenty years. The old house is still full of dark corners, and at every turn, Cat finds herself stumbling across long-hidden secrets and terrifying ghosts from the past. Because someone—El?—has left a clue for Cat: a treasure hunt that leads them back to Mirrorland, where the truth awaits…
