Matt's mother kept all his childhood memories in a small box, amongst the many photos of Matt as a child. But something about those photos has always puzzled Matt. Is that really him? Why does he not remember those clothes and toys? And where, in the photos, is his sister Imogen?
Imogen, meanwhile, is living with her husband and their baby in a rented cottage. Ever since her childhood she has loved the Summer House, a charming folly in the grounds of a beautiful and ancient house on Exmoor, and now they have the chance of buying it. But the Summer House provides the key to the strange and tragic secret which has affected Matt's whole life.
Marcia Willett’s early
life was devoted to the ballet, but her dreams of becoming a ballerina ended
when she grew out of the classical proportions then required. She had always
loved books, and a family crisis made her take up a new career as a novelist—a
decision she has never regretted. She lives in a beautiful, wild part of Devon
with her husband, where she loves to be visited by her son and his young
family.View all by Marcia Willett
