Book Synopsis
During the Second World
War, a Hampstead villa named Gibbin House was a refuge for artists and
intellectuals fleeing the continent. But nearly five years later, this former
beacon of hope has become a prison for the four men who remain exiled there.
The mysterious arrival from Vienna of Anka Pietraru - a young woman unable to
voice the unbearable secret of a mother's sacrifice - will test the men's
perceptions of love and loss. And as Anka unearths old grievances within Gibbin
House, its residents will be forced to decide if they have the strength to
begin living again or if it is simply too late.
