In 1966 Mary Foster is 12 years of age and her ordered, peaceful life is disturbed and fragmented by a precipitous move from a nice house in suburban London to a badly neglected Victorian house on the south coast of England.
However, she manages to forge a new friendship which provides her with some comfort in a world that is alien to her.
But suddenly there comes a realisation that her life is not what she thought, that there has been deceit and deception that wrecks her life, leaving her feeling bitter and full of resentment. But she feels it necessary to keep her silence.
It's now 40 years later and Mary feels that now, as a mature woman, she needs to know more. Times are now different, we are in a different century. The secrecy of 40 years ago now seems awkward and strange. And now Mary is anxious to uncover the truth.
But what if the truth is something she might not really wish to learn? Should the secrets of the past remain buried or should they be exposed to the light?
What should Mary do? Keep on seeking and learning the secrets of 40 years ago? Or not?
The book is published by Matador at £9.99.
