Description
When a troubled man arrives at the edge of Faith’s life, her decision to help—or refuse—forces her to confront memories she thought she had safely buried. As Faith looks back on her childhood, the past sharpens into a psychological landscape of overlooked details, shifting loyalties, and the uneasy sense that something has been waiting to be recognized. Set against the economically and socially straitened years that followed the bright promises of the hippy era, the novel blends suspense with a keen understanding of how deprivation and secrecy can distort perception. With Barbara Vine’s signature, psychologically intricate style, this is a darkly atmospheric thriller about moral responsibility, the unreliability of memory, and what it really means to “see” when the light changes.
