Some secrets can’t be caged forever …

Sweeping from the French Riviera to the wind-blown Cornish cliffs, lose yourself in this spellbinding novel about one golden family – and a devastating secret that binds them, forever…

Year after idyllic year, the Challant family retreat to their summer house on the glittering French Riviera.

Until one stormy night in 1928 when a local boy suffers a fatal accident in the grounds. Overnight, it becomes a place of ghosts.

As time unspools, those dark memories loosen their grip on the four Challant children. And yet the local whispers about that night never quieten, calling them back to the house on the Riviera.

A family secret lies waiting in the past.

But dare they unlock the truth?

My Thoughts 

Well how stunning is this book and cover. It draws you in instantly.

The setting was perfect and very in keeping with the story line too. The Challant family retreat hold many precious and fond memories for them, set in the most quaint of places. Yet one summer in 1928 changes it all for them. 

This story was packed with lots of characters that each had a secret and there own version of events and reasons! As the children of the family grow up and go through, relationships, different dynamics, losses that one remains the glue. So to overcome their challenges they start to uncover secrets that have left in the past. 

I liked how the plot was full of mystery and didn't loose it's thread or become lax which kept me going. The book is wonderfully written, exploring families, relationships, love and meaning of home and healing for some of the charachters. 

It has been a short while since I have read a historical fiction and this was just perfect!
