This is a story about a world and war, the continuity of generations, love and betrayal, and the secrets that must be uncovered to change the lives of many, very many people.
Emily inherits, along her father’s line, an ancient family castle with beautiful gardens and vineyards—but along with it comes an entire host of debts and unanswered questions about the past of her family.
Until then, she lived a simple life in Paris. She had a complicated relationship with her mother and didn’t plan to return to the places where she spent her childhood. However, her mother’s death and meeting Sebastian, the owner of an art gallery in London—whose grandmother was also connected to Emily’s ancestral home—turn all her life “before” and “after” upside down.
