Parallel stories set in different times, one told in prose and one in pictures, converge as a girl unravels the mystery of the abandoned Thornhill Institute next door.

1982: Mary is a lonely orphan at the Thornhill Institute For Children at the very moment that it is shutting its doors. When her few friends are all adopted or re-homed and she’s left to face a volatile bully on my own, her revenge will have a lasting effect at the bully, on Mary, and on Thornhill itself.

2017: Ella has just moved to a new town where she knows no person. From her room at the top floor of her new home, she has an ideal view of the dilapidated, abandoned Thornhill Institute across the way in which, where she glimpses a girl within the window. Made up our minds to befriend the girl and solidify the link between them, Ella resolves to resolve Thornhill’s shadowy past.

Told in alternating, interwoven plotlines―Mary’s through intimate diary entries and Ella’s in bold, striking art―Pam Smy’s Thornhill is a haunting exploration of human connection, filled with suspense.
