A woman's disappearance from an isolated moorland community with a neighbour's young son stirs up painful memories, suspicion and guilt. Besieged by journalists, two of her estranged children return to their rural roots to face the truth about themselves and the people they once knew. However, the veneer of good manners is as thin as the upland soil and, as tensions mount, their lives begin to unravel in unforeseen and devastating ways.

Autorenporträt
Author of contemporary stories about ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events, Anona Rooke is drawn to remote parts of the British Isles and Europe, places where the landscape and weather still shape the lives of the communities that live there. She grew up deep in the woods of eastern England, but later stepped out of the trees to settle on a windswept moorland in the west country.
