Julia is married and eight years Julian's senior; he is a gifted English student, a life of academia ahead. Ignoring warnings, they both give up all they have to be together. When Julian hears that his boyhood home is for sale, he sets out to recreate a paradise for his new family.

It is only when their daughter, Mira, becomes terrifyingly ill that it is impossible for Julia to conceal the explosive secret that she has been keeping from him.

Critic Reviews

"Beautifully written and intricately constructed.... Shining, poetic and sumptuous." (Joanne Harris)

I listened to and enjoyed A Theatre of Dreamers mostly because of Polly Samsons wonderful use of adjectives and similes so purchased this book in the hope of the same. It was true to type but the story line was so confusing that after quarter the way through I had no idea what it was!

Disappointing
