Set in East Anglia, Lily comes to the village of Steerborough to research the life and work of architect Klaus Lehmann who died there in the fifties. The story switches back and forth in time between the now and then and as the past gradually reveals its secrets, the present-day characters re-assess their own lives. It's a meandering, complex novel, very evocative of time and place. Perfect for lazy summer days - if you have any!
