Description
The Ophelia Girls by Jane Healey is a visceral and heady exploration of illicit desire, infatuation, and the perils and power of being a young woman. Set against the backdrop of two fateful summers, this novel delves into the complexities of female relationships, family secrets, and the transformative power of love. In the summer of 1973, teenage girls obsessed with pre-Raphaelite paintings and each other spend their days recreating tragic tableaus by the river. Twenty-four years later, Ruth's daughter Maeve is finally starting to live again after a long illness, but old secrets threaten to surface as her family gathers at their childhood home. As the heat of the summer intensifies, the lines between truth and deception begin to blur, and the past and present collide in devastating ways.
