From the bestselling author of The Legacy comes a powerful dual
narrative, set between now and the 1930s, exploring the dark heart
of obsessive love. For fans of Tracy Rees, Jenny Ashcroft and
Rosanna Ley 1937 In a village on the Dorset coast,
fourteen-year-old Mitzy Hatcher has had a wild and lonely
upbringing - until the arrival of renowned artist Charles Aubrey,
his exotic mistress and their daughters, changes everything. Over
the next three summers, Mitzy glimpses a future she had never
imagined, and a powerful love is kindled in her. A love that grows
from innocence to obsession; from childish infatuation to something
far more complex. Years later, a young man in an art gallery looks
at a hastily drawn portrait and wonders at the intensity of it. The
questions he asks lead him to a Dorset village and to the truth
about those fevered summers in the 1930s... A Half Forgotten Song
is an absorbing and intoxicating mystery around a love that takes
hold and won't let go. Your favourite authors love Katherine Webb's
