From the Booker Prize-winning, bestselling author of Possession
a deeply affecting story of a singular family.
When children's book author Olive Wellwood's oldest son discovers a
runaway named Philip sketching in the basement of a museum, she
takes him into the storybook world of her family and friends. But
the joyful bacchanals Olive hosts at her rambling country
house--and the separate, private books she writes for each of her
seven children--conceal more treachery and darkness than Philip has
ever imagined. The Wellwoods' personal struggles and hidden desires
unravel against a breathtaking backdrop of the cliff-lined shores
of England to Paris, Munich, and the trenches of the Somme, as the
Edwardian period dissolves into World War I and Europe's golden era
comes to an end.
