Description

In the conservative seaside town of Merham, the arrival of a bohemian household at Arcadia—a striking Art Deco house—challenges the community’s strict social conventions and captivates friends Celia Holden and Lottie Swift. Their fascination with the newcomers deepens just as Celia returns from London engaged, setting the stage for love, betrayal, and consequences that will shape several lives. Nearly fifty years later, interior designer Daisy takes on the restoration of Arcadia, only to find that the house’s buried history still exerts a powerful hold over the present. Spanning two generations, this richly atmospheric novel explores friendship, desire, social change, and the enduring influence of the past.
