June 1914 and a young woman - Clara Waterfield - is summoned to a large stone house in Gloucestershire.

Its gardens are filled with foxgloves, hydrangea and roses; it has lily ponds, a croquet lawn - and the marvellous new glasshouse awaits her. But the house itself feels unloved. Its rooms are shuttered or empty.

Dieser leidenschaftliche Roman zeichnet das unvergessliche Bild eines zerrissenen Dorfes und eines Verbrechens, für das ein unschuldiger Mann büßen muss.

Außerordentlich lyrisch, voller Leben und total authentisch.
