1962: When teens Daisy and Harry meet, it feels so right they promise to love each other forever, but in 1960s England everything is stacked against them: class, education, expectations. When Daisy is sent by her parents to live with her glamorous, bohemian Aunt Jane, a novelist working on her second book, she is confronted by adult truths and suffers a loss of innocence that flings her far from the one good thing in her life, Harry. 1983: Jane Curtis, now a famous novelist, is at a prestigious book event in New York, being interviewed about her life and work, including a novel about the painful and disastrous coming of age of a young woman. But she won't answer the interviewer's probing questions. What is she trying to hide? This is a novel about the painful lessons life has to teach us, about ourselves, about love, honesty and morality.
