Synopsis
Elegant secrets bloom in an English garden of art, memory, and turning points. In Anne Page, a cultivated woman of quiet grace steps into a wider world when visitors bring art, ambition, and a hint of Paris into a village sunset. The story follows how new friendships, a fragile health, and a summer of possibility redraw the lines of her life.
Anne Page introduces a circle of lively characters—Francois Fontenelle, Rene Dampierre, and a cast of neighbors—who illuminate art, love, and the choices that shape a life. The book blends lush detail with intimate, observant storytelling as Anne navigates longing, aging, and the pull of an unfamiliar future.
- Rich atmosphere: formal gardens, sundials, and a countryside setting that feels almost tactile.
- A matriarch’s quiet resilience and the shifting loyalties of a close-knit circle.
- The tension between artistic ambition, romantic wish, and the realities of life.
- A nuanced portrait of a woman learning to redefine happiness on her own terms.
Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven fiction about art, aging, and the quiet revolutions of a single summer.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The latest wing, added in Georgian days, its red brick toned now to a restful mellow colour, imparted an air of formal stateliness to the irregular but charming structure. Roses wreathed the latticed window-panes of the older part of the house; clematis rioted over part of the roof and climbed the chimneystacks. On the sunny walls of the later wing a vine had been trained. The door of the panelled hall in the middle of the house opened upon a square of flagstones, and level with these, a lawn, its smoothness unspoilt by flower-beds, stretched to a sunk fence from which meadowland, whose broad expanse was broken here and there by groups of elms, extended far as the eye could see till its verge touched the sunset sky. On the lawn to the right of the house, one magnificent beech tree swept the ground with its lower branches, and then soared majestically towards the sky. On the left there was a group of chestnuts. But, except for a small white fountain opposite the hall porch, the lawn in its velvet softness was left unadorned.
