Sarah has given up her career to raise her children in the countryside, while her husband works long hours in London. Alone, she explores the fields and the woods near her home and discovers an enchanting lake, a memorial bench for a boy who drowned in mysterious circumstances, and Finn, a beautiful troubled teenager who plays truant from school. As Sarah pieces the mystery together, an uncomfortable attraction between her and Finn builds, climaxing over one hot summer, threatening to destroy everything that she holds dear. Woven into Sarah' s story are the voices of the older generation - Maggie, the RAF nurse and Flavia, the Italian girl. As their stories unfold, a secret is revealed, binding Sarah and Finn in a way that they would never guess.
' Beautifully written and very English in its landscape-love, family-love and garden-love' Fay Weldon. ' I was struck by the remarkably evocative atmosphere. . . intense yearning and guilty longings infused with a multi-layered past, that makes for a deeply seductive read' Ella Berthoud. ' Creating subtle drama and menace, sensuality and enchantment out of the ordinary. . . wonderful writing' . Patricia Wastvedt
Louise Soraya Black has a British mother and Iranian father. She worked as a lawyer before publishing her debut novel, Pomegranate Sky, which won the inaugural Virginia Prize in 2009. She lives with her family in Surrey.
