La luce alla finestra

Synopsis of La luce alla finestra

Émilie de la Martinières has always lived under the shadow of her mother, the undisputed queen of the Parisian social scene. Now thirty, the coldness masked by luxury and comfort with which she was raised remains a heavy burden. The sudden news of her mother's death, however, awakens a tangle of conflicting and painful feelings in Émilie, especially when she learns she is the sole heir to a sumptuous castle in the South of France. This castle hides the answers to many questions about her past: an old notebook found within those walls will lead her on the trail of the mysterious and beautiful Aunt Sophia, whose tragic love story during the war irrevocably marked her family. A unique and unmistakable voice in romantic fiction, Lucinda Riley has written another story of love and passion, an impetuous tale between past and present that enchants, overwhelms, and captivates.
