A haunting mystery for fans of Eve Chase, Kate Morton and Kate
Mosse. ‘A poignant page-turning story, beautifully written’
Leonora Nattrass, author of Blue Water ’Hugely evocative and
beautifully written’ Anna Mazzola, author of The Clockwork Girl
‘A thoroughly compelling mystery meets a poignant love story, all
wrapped up in beautifully lyrical writing’ Frances Quinn, author
of The Smallest Man ‘A beguiling mystery from a gifted
storyteller’ Louise Fein, author of People Like Us 1938: Lady
Vita Goldsborough lives in the menacing shadow of her controlling
older brother, Aubrey. But when she meets local artist Dodie
Blakeney, the two women form a close bond, and Vita finally
glimpses a chance to be free. 1997: Following the death of her
mother, Eve Blakeney returns to the coast where she spent childhood
summers with her beloved grandmother, Dodie. Eve hopes that the
visit will help make sense of her grief. The last thing she expects
to find is a bundle of letters that hint at the heart-breaking
story of Dodie’s relationship with a woman named Vita, and a
shattering secret that echoes through the decades. What she
discovers will overturn everything she thought she knew about her
family – and change her life forever. ‘Luminous and captivating

gothic’ Kate Griffin, author of Fyneshade What readers are saying
