Summary
Liddy and Helena are childhood friends working as au pairs on the Italian island of Ischia in the summer of 1979. They expect to spend an opulent summer in paradise, looking after the children of the wealthy Verduccis and Baldinis. But they hadn't counted on a kidnapped child, dangerous love affairs and the police - and how they would betray each other. 25 years later, Liddy runs into a figure strikingly reminiscent of Helena: it's Allie, her daughter. At the risk of opening old wounds, she befriends her - and so Allie is set upon a quest for her identity, taking her across Europe to the villa where it all went so wrong for her mother that summer in Ischia.
