Family secrets unravel during matriarch's birthday.
If you're drawn to stories where a single event unfolds layers of hidden truths, "Facing the Light" might resonate with you. Celebrations at Willow Court reveal more than just familial affection. With an artist's legacy casting shadows on the present, Adele Geras's novel invites you to a family gathering that becomes a revelation, and potentially a redemption, for an entire lineage. Witnessing the unraveling of tightly held secrets against the backdrop of a grand English home could be as captivating as it is thought-provoking.
This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition. There should be no yellowing, no foxing, no water damage, and no annotations of any kind on the cover and the pages. For paperbacks, there should not be any crease marks on the spine. This book is good as new — lucky you!
