Summer 1967:
In the heart of rural Suffolk, 13-year-old
Maisie is at her decaying family home, a former medieval
abbey. As an artist paints a portrait of Maisie and her
older sisters, arrogant, beautiful Julia and brilliant,
bookish Finn, Maisie embarks upon a portrait of her own: an
account of her troubled family and her village friend
Daniel. Before the summer is through, an accident will have
befallen the family-one which changes their lives
irrevocably for the worse.Winter 1991: As the now-famous
portrait of the Mortland sisters is being featured in a
huge exhibition, Daniel seeks to free himself of his
obsession with these women by unraveling the secrets of
that fateful summer. Readers will be transported,
fascinated, and have their hearts broken by this page-
turning novel of a most extraordinary family.
