Antoine Rey thought he had the perfect surprise for his
sister Mélanie’s birthday: a weekend by the sea at
Noirmoutier Island, where the pair spent many happy
childhood summers playing on the beach. It had been too
long, Antoine thought, since they’d returned to the
island—over thirty years, since their mother died and the
family holidays ceased. But the island’s haunting beauty
triggers more than happy memories; it reminds Mélanie of
something unexpected and deeply disturbing about their last
island summer. When, on the drive home to Paris, she
finally summons the courage to reveal what she knows to
Antoine, her emotions overcome her and she loses control of
the car. Trapped in the wake of a family secret shrouded by
taboo, Antoine must confront his past and also his troubled
relationships with his own children. How well does he
really know his mother, his children, even himself? Suddenly fragile on all fronts – as a son, a husband, a
brother and a father – Antoine Rey will soon learn the
shocking truth about his family and himself. By turns
thrilling and seductive, with a lingering effect that is
bittersweet and redeeming, A Secret Kept is the story of a
modern family and the invisible ties that hold it together.
