He finds himself captivated by Lily's charismatic brother Felix as they holiday in the south of France. But when they return to London, the cracks in the Blake family's careful facade begin to show, with their secrets and choices affecting all those around them. The book explores race, status and the parts of ourselves we risk losing when we fall in love.
