The slums of Victorian London are not the best place for a young woman who has lost her parents. However, the life of a street thief, seemingly destined for her, changes abruptly when she meets the artist Richard Radcliffe. Lilly Millington - as she calls herself - becomes his sitter and muse. Together with a group of friends, the lovers find themselves in an old mansion on the banks of the Thames, where they spend the summer of 1862 carefree, until their idyllic existence does not collapse overnight as a result of a catastrophe that led to the death of one woman and the disappearance of another ... It will be more than a hundred and fifty years before an old album with sketches of the artist and a photographic portrait of an unknown - and the events of the past, buried in the hollows of time, will finally shed the light of truth. In her book Kate Morton, the author of international bestsellers, including the novels "When the fog clears", "Distant Hours", "Forgotten Garden", etc., writes about art and love, heavy losses and remorse, about time and eternity, as well as the fact that the only way to the future sometimes lies through the past. For the first time in Russian!
