TARROW
Once an ordinary house in an ordinary street, Talliston House and Gardens has been transformed into a series of inspiring locations, each set in a different time and place. Each room is the setting for a different chapter in the novel, allowing you to step from medieval tower rooms to New Orleans kitchens, visit sinister Scottish bedrooms and a cabin in the woods.
