The slums of Victorian London are hardly the most suitable place for a young woman who has lost her parents. However, the life of a street thief, seemingly destined for her by fate, changes dramatically after meeting the artist Richard Radcliffe. Lilly Millington—as she calls herself—becomes his model and muse. Along with a group of friends, the lovers find themselves in an old mansion on the banks of the Thames, where they spend the carefree summer of 1862, until their idyllic existence is shattered overnight by a catastrophe that results in the death of one woman and the disappearance of another. More than one hundred and fifty years will pass before an old album of the artist's sketches and a photograph of an unknown woman are accidentally discovered, and the light of truth finally shines upon the events of the past, buried in the voids of time.

In her book, Kate Morton, the author of international bestsellers including When the Fog Clears, The Distant Hours, The Forgotten Garden, and others, writes about art and love, great loss and remorse, time and eternity, and how the only way to the future sometimes lies through the past.
