A spellbinding tale about the power of love, the danger of
obsession, and the unfaithful nature of memory, A Half Forgotten
Song is by turns haunting, joyous, and heartbreaking
1937. In a windswept village on the Dorset coast,
fourteen-year-old Mitzy Hatcher has endured a wild and lonely
upbringing. But the arrival of renowned artist Charles Aubrey,
along with his exotic mistress and their two daughters, changes
everything. Over the course of three summers, Mitzy develops a deep
and abiding bond with the Aubrey household, gradually becoming
Charles's muse. Slowly, she begins to perceive a future she had
never thought possible--and a powerful love is kindled in her. A
love that will grow as she does: from innocence to obsession; from
childish infatuation to something far more dangerous.
Years later, a young man in an art gallery happens upon a
hastily drawn portrait and is intrigued by its curious intensity.
The questions he asks lead him to the seaside village--and to the
truth about those fevered summers of long ago.
