In a silent valley in southern France stands an isolated stone
farmhouse, the Mas Lunel. Aramon, the owner, is so haunted by his
violent past that he's become incapable of all meaningful action,
letting his hunting dogs starve and his land go to ruin. Meanwhile,
his sister Audrun, alone in her modern bungalow within sight of the
Mas Lunel, dreams of exacting retribution for the unspoken
betrayals that have blighted her life. Into this closed world comes
Anthony Verey, a wealthy but disillusioned antiques dealer from
London. When he sets his sights on the Mas, a frightening and
unstoppable series of consequences is set in motion. "Rose
Tremain's writing is so good, she makes us hear English anew,"
writes the San Francisco Chronicle. This powerful and unsettling
work reveals yet another dimension to Tremain's extraordinary
imagination.
