Summer, 1929, a child is kidnapped on the beach only to be found 5 days later. The child grows up unaware of this event and it will take another fifty years before her daughter's diligence will unlock the secrets of the past. Cummings is an art critic and her family memoir, beautifully written, is illuminated by pictures and images as she gradually unearths all those things which nobody talked about it but which affected so many lives.
