Description

Annie Devereaux flees to England after her husband's sudden death, seeking solace in the nostalgic fantasies she had been told about by her father. She finds herself drawn into the lives of a disintegrating aristocratic family, particularly Julian, the moody son of Helena Denby, a famous geneticist. As Annie becomes infatuated with visions of Julian's idyllic childhood, she uncovers more about his past and the emotional devastation that has befallen him. The family's idealized image is revealed to be a nightmare of betrayal and guilt, spiraling into tragedy. With the help of Isabel, one of Julian's sisters, Annie slowly learns the truth about Helena's warped arrogance and its devastating impact on her children. This luminous novel explores the complexities of love, illusion, and the fragility of human relationships.
