À propos de la deuxième de couverture

Matt's mother kept all his childhood memories in a small inlaid wooden box, amongst the many photos of Matt as a child.

But something about those photos has always puzzled Matt - is that really him? Why does he not remember those clothes? The toys? And where, in the photos, is his sister Imogen? He has grown up with a strange, unresolved feeling that there is something missing in his life.

Imogen, meanwhile, is living with her husband, a country vet, and their gorgeous baby in a rented cottage. Ever since her childhood she has loved the Summer House, a charming folly in the grounds of a beautiful and ancient house on Exmoor, and now they have the chance of buying it. But her marriage is threatened when her husband refuses to move.

Eventually, the Summer House provides the key to the strange and tragic secret which has affected Matt's whole life.
