Synopsis

Imagine a triptych – three panels – three books. The first depicts a French aristocrat in 18th Century clothes burying a cello and a painting. The second a glamorous woman with hair in the 1920s’ style, wearing a stunning red gown and playing a cello with her eyes closed. The third a frightened girl running, carrying a bundle in her arms. Connecting them all three brothers and two women in the present time. The three brothers: Antero Reeve, an architect, working in the Loire Valley, France, creating a renaissance style chateau out of the ruins of an old one; Armando Reeve, a musicologist, newly moved to the village of Steyning in Sussex, England, and researching the life of a great Portuguese cellist – Guilhermina Suggia – intending to write a book about her; Anselmo Reeve, a photographer, living in Munich, Germany, inherited his photography studio from his partner after he was killed photographing the mountain gorillas in Rwanda. The two women: Ellen Matthews, a cello teacher/tutor, living in Steyning, Armando’s neighbour, had a son at sixteen – Andrew – who is now thirty and an acclaimed opera/classical music conductor; Amira Denning-Deschamps, a business woman, unusually beautiful, widow, inherited her husband’s fortune and business empire after his death, also had a son at 16 – Guillaume – who is now thirty and runs the empire with her.In Book 3 – The Shadow – Armando and his brother Anselmo begin to put together the pieces of the puzzle that is Ellen Matthews. Is she really who she says she is? And if not who is she really? Did she change her identity and if so, why? The intriguing stories of The Triptych come together in a suspenseful and ultimately rewarding finale.
