For Iris, childhood memories are of long hot summers spent playing
with her cousin Rosmarie in her grandmother's garden, a place where
redcurrants turned to pale tears on the branches of trees and
beautiful Aunt Inga shook sparks from the tips of her fingers. But
now her grandmother is dead and, along with inheriting the
property, Iris finds that she also inherits her family's darkest
secrets. Reluctant to keep it, but reluctant to sell, Iris spends
one more summer at the house. By day she swims at the local lake,
where she rediscovers a childhood companion. Alone at night she
roams through the familiar rooms, exploring the tall black shadows
of the past. In the flicker between remembrance and forgetting,
Iris recalls an enigmatic grandfather who went to war and came back
a different man, the night her cousin Rosmarie fell through the
conservatory roof and shattered her family's lives, and a moment of
love that made the old tree in the orchard bloom overnight.
