Overview
Las vidas de dos mujeres se entrecruzan con más de cincuenta años de diferencia en una historia de secretos que por fin salen de las sombras.
Emilie siempre ha luchado contra su ascendencia aristocrática, pero tras la muerte de su madre se descubre sola en el mundo, única heredera de la gran casa donde pasó su infancia en el sur francés. Un viejo cuaderno con poemas la lleva a indagar en la vida de la misteriosa y bella Sophia, cuya trágica historia de amor lo cambió todo. A medida que Emilie avanza en su búsqueda, también ella se embarca en su propio viaje de descubrimiento: quizás en el castillo encuentre las huellas de su intricado pasado para, finalmente, abrir las puertas al futuro.
Londres, 1943. Constance Carruthers es reclutada como espía durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Separada de su contacto en Francia, conoce a una acaudalada familia atrapada en un terrible juego de mentiras. Despojada de su identidad y de los lazos que la unen a su país y a su amado esposo, Constance se hallará en medio de una red de engaños cuyas repercusiones afectarán a las generaciones por venir.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The lives of two women intertwine more than fifty years apart in a story of secrets finally brought to light.
Emilie has always struggled against her aristocratic heritage, but after her mother’s death, she finds herself alone in the world—the sole heir to the grand estate where she spent her childhood in the south of France. A worn notebook filled with poems leads her to investigate the life of the mysterious and beautiful Sophia, whose tragic love story changed everything. As Emilie delves deeper into her search, she embarks on her own journey of self-discovery—perhaps within the castle walls she will find traces of her complex past and ultimately open the door to her future.
London, 1943. Constance Carruthers is recruited as a spy during World War II. Separated from her contact in France, she encounters a wealthy family ensnared in a dangerous web of lies. Stripped of her identity and the ties that bind her to her homeland and her beloved husband, Constance finds herself trapped in a network of deceit whose consequences will echo for generations to come.
