Shadowing the Sun

Resumen del libro

Sylvie is about to meet her father again after 13 years apart, to ask him to give her away at her wedding. Although she has a promising career as a photographer and a secure relationship, Sylvie feels restless and, as she prepares for the reunion, her thoughts turn to their final, fateful summer when she was 12, and visiting his commune just outside Florence. The events of that holiday cast their long shadow over her teenage years, and now also threaten her happiness as an adult.

In deft and compelling prose, Dunn tells the parallel stories of Sylvie's present and past - the anxious week in London, and the summer in Italy that started so promisingly, but ended with such betrayal and loss of innocence.
