During the rainless summer of 1967, in a tumble-down English abbey, three sisters have their portrait painted by an artist friend. There is young Maisie, strangely observant, who sees ghosts; Julia, arrogant and beautiful; and Finn, wild and bookish. Maisie, in turn, embarks on a portrait of her own, chronicling a cataclysmic summer and events that will have repercussions two decades later. Inhabiting her own skillfully honed niche between literary and commercial fiction, Sally Beauman has written another completely entrancing novel-part page-turning mystery, part haunting love story-that will add to her growing legion of admirers on both sides of the Atlantic.
