Sixty years on, the surviving relatives are invited back. Carrie Armstrong can't pass up the opportunity to go, even if it comes via her husband Mark's painful family past.

Yet as she discovers more about Mark's tragic grandmother, Lily, and her older schoolmaster husband, Jack, Carrie begins to realise that the secrets of the house are really nothing compared with the secrets of her own relationship with Mark...
