Description
On a sweltering summer day in 1935, a thirteen-year-old girl's misunderstanding and overactive imagination ignite a devastating chain of events that will alter the lives of her sister, her sister's lover, and herself. As the narrative sweeps from the idyllic English countryside to the brutal battlefields of World War II and beyond, it explores the profound consequences of a single, fateful accusation. This is a sweeping novel about love, war, guilt, and the redemptive power of storytelling, masterfully crafted by one of contemporary literature's most acclaimed voices.
