He followed her eyes skyward to a bird that was falling,
turning and turning, like a heart that had leapt free. It
fell, and as it did it became a falcon. He was
transfixed.
Julian's fall begins the moment he
sets eyes on Julia.
Julia is married and eight years
his senior; he is a gifted English student, a life of
academia ahead. Ignoring warnings from family and friends,
they each give up all they have to be together. Their new
life in London offers immense happiness, especially after
their longed-for daughter Mira is born.
When Julian
hears that Firdaws, his adored boyhood home, is for sale, he
sets out to recreate a lost paradise for his new family.
Once again, love blinds him. It is only when Mira becomes
terrifyingly ill that it is impossible for Julia to conceal
from him the explosive secret that she has been keeping at
the heart of their lives.
Lyrical, haunting and
exquisitely rendered, Polly Samson's second novel explores a
deception that comes wrapped as a gift, a betrayal that is
clothed in kindness, and asks if we can ever truly trust
another. The result is an unforgettable story of love,
grief, betrayal, and reconciliation, masterfully plotted and
beautifully told.
