Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - MAN BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE - From the Booker Prize-winning, bestselling author of Possession a story that spans the Victorian era through World War I about a children's author and the passions, betrayals, and secrets that tear apart the lives of her family and loved ones.

"Majestic ... Dazzling ... Wonderful." --The San Francisco Chronicle

When children's book author Olive Wellwood's oldest son discovers a runaway named Philip sketching in the basement of a museum, she takes him into the storybook world of her family and friends. But the joyful bacchanals Olive hosts at her rambling country house--and the separate, private books she writes for each of her seven children--conceal more treachery and darkness than Philip has ever imagined. The Wellwoods' personal struggles and hidden desires unravel against a breathtaking backdrop of the cliff-lined shores of England to Paris, Munich, and the trenches of the Somme, as the Edwardian period dissolves into World War I and Europe's golden era comes to an end.
