A gripping historical novel from Catherine Law, set against the beautiful backdrop of Venice To find what she has lost, she must go back to the beginning…

1924

The First World War is over and eleven-year-old Alexa is growing up on the idyllic Cornish coast with her best friend Harvey. But she soon discovers there are secrets at the heart of her family that have been hidden for years.

And when her mother dies suddenly, she finds her whole life thrown into turmoil.

1931

Still reeling from the secrets she uncovered, Alexa flees to the intoxicating city of Venice. But her new glamorous life is not what she hoped for and, with dark shadows closing in, she will question everything she thought she wanted…

Perfect for fans of Kathryn Hughes and Leah Fleming.
