England, 1983. A celebrated love story entertains the
nation: Patrick, the sexy young playwright, scourge of an
enthralled establishment, marries Sara, who has abandoned
her two children to fulfill her destiny as Patrick’s
beautiful, devoted muse. Thirty-five years later, Sara’s
death leaves Patrick alone in their crumbling house in
Cornwall, with his whisky, his writer’s block and his
undimmed rage against the world. The children Sara left
behind, Louise and Nigel, are now adults―with memories,
questions and agendas of their own. What was their mother
really like? Why did she leave them? What has she left them?
And how can Patrick carry on without the love of his life? As versions of the past collide with realities in the
present, Sara’s heirs do battle over ownership of this much
beloved woman. But the closer Louise and Nigel get to the
true story of Sara’s great love affair, the greater its
mystery. Secrets and lies, scenes and letters: how do any of
us piece together the people who made us what we are?
