Book description
By the time Grace is eighteen, she has been orphaned, moved countries
and lost touch with her only brother. Talented, awkward and a little
fierce, she can't help thinking that she's managed to lose anything
she's ever loved. So she decides to revisit her past in America, and
she's brought her camera - she's going to catch these memories and pin
them down to keep. What she isn't expecting that summer in New Hampshire
is to meet the love of her life. Some years later, now divorced and
flourishing as a controversial photographer, Grace lives alone - she
likes the fact that everything will be exactly where she left it. Until
Grace finds that she is, quite literally, being haunted by the past...
'This gripping and moving story is an honest chronicle of what happens
to relationships over time, and a sharp observation of one woman's
emotional life' The Times 'A perceptive and delicately written study of
human relations and motivations, painful, funny and fresh, which Cobbold
has structured quite ingeniously, building the story layer upon layer,
rather like a painting.' Observer 'This moving tale of love lost and
found centres on Grace, who by 18 has been orphaned ... this poignant
novel is a reminder of how we look for love in all the wrong places'
