Présentation de l'éditeur :
1937: in the muted light of a winter morning, Prue Miller opens her door to an unwelcome visitor. Prue has fled her fractured marriage and the vicious undercurrents of London s artistic society to make a home for her son Skip in their rain-soaked Sussex beach chalet. But her encounter with the stranger on her doorstep entangles her in threads that lead back to long-buried secrets and the unforeseen consequences of her childhood actions.
On another morning, years earlier in 1920, eleven-year-old Prudence leaves her room in the Hotel Fast to explore the city her architect father has been charged with redesigning: Jerusalem. A place of winding alleys, narrow stairways and elegant minarets, it is bound by religions and traditions far removed from her English upbringing.
Awkward and lonely nicknamed 'Little Witness 'by the hotel staff - Prue takes to eavesdropping, underneath the tables of tearooms and behind the curtains of the dance-halls of the city's elite. Around her, British colonials, exiled Armenians and German officials rub shoulders as they line up the pieces in their political game - a game destined to lead to disaster.
And it is in the Hotel Fast that Prue also witnesses the unfolding of a dangerous love affair between a young British pilot William Harrington, and the mesmerising Eleanora, wife of an acclaimed and elusive Jerusalem photographer. Desperate to be part of their glamourous world and unheeded by those who should be keeping her safe, Prue becomes ensnared in an adult world of betrayal and deceit, and in mysteries of national importance that she cannot hope to understand.
