"An astute storyteller...knows exactly how to reel in readers and keep them hooked." WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN
BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SECRETS OF THE TIDES AND THE SHADOW YEAR
Two summers, decades apart. Two women whose lives are forever entwined. And a house that holds the secrets that could free them both.
Lillian's marriage to Charles Oberon has not turned out the way she thought it would. To her it seems she is just another beautiful object captured within the walls of Cloudesley, her husband's Chilterns manor house. But, with a young step-son and a sister to care for, Lillian accepts there is no way out. Then Charles makes an arrangement with an enigmatic artist visiting their home and her world is turned on its head.
Maggie Oberon ran from the hurt and resentment she caused. Half a world away, in Australia, it was easier to forget. But when her grandmother, Lillian, falls ill she must head back to Cloudesley. Forced to face her past, she learns that all she thought was real, all that she held so close, was never as it seemed.
An utterly compelling story of secrets, betrayals and the consequences of a long-ago summer.
