Description
A new edition of Lisa St. Aubin de Terán's fourth novel explores the complexities of marriage and identity through the story of a couple hiding secrets from each other. Their Italian Riviera retreat, Sestri Levante, holds twin bays: one with a fairy tale association and another known as the Bay of Silence. Rosalind, an actress struggling with schizophrenia, has returned to this spot, where she first encountered a mysterious stranger, Angelo, on her honeymoon. Her husband William tries to make sense of their marriage's pressures, which have allowed them to forget and self-delude about the tragic events unfolding in their lives. As tensions escalate, St. Aubin de Terán weaves an unsettling atmosphere, combining deep character analysis with a striking new sense of pace and menace, creating a compelling narrative that explores the human drama at its core.
