Description
Julius Levy's life begins with an instinctual stretch towards the sky, drawn to the clouds that seem so near. As he grows up in a village on the banks of the Seine, Julius becomes a quick-witted urchin caught up in the turmoil of war. Forced to flee, he finds himself in Algeria, where he learns the art of deception and the rewards of love affairs. In London, Julius builds an empire, driven by a hunger for power that knows no bounds. Yet, one weakness haunts him: his daughter, Gabriel. Daphne du Maurier's novel is a chilling tale of ambition, where the lines between right and wrong are constantly blurred.
