About this listen

The paper is stiff and brittle with age as Kate unfolds it with trembling hands. She gasps at the pencil sketch of a rippling waterway, lined by tall buildings, curving towards the dome of a cathedral. She feels a connection deep in her heart. Venice.

England, 1941. When Kate Arden discovers a secret stash of drawings hidden in the pages of an old volume of poetry given to her as a baby, her breath catches. All her life, she has felt like an outsider in her aristocratic adoptive family, who refuse to answer any questions about her past. But the drawings spark a forgotten memory: a long journey by boat, warm arms that held her tight, and then let go.

Could these pictures unlock the secret of who she is? Why her mother left her? With war raging around the continent, she will brave everything to find out…

A gripping, emotional historical novel of love and art that will captivate fans of The Venice Sketchbook, The Woman on the Bridge, and The Nightingale.

Lovely, evocative story

Really enjoyed this gentle but action-packed story, infused with a passion for equality and respect for ambition in women at a time when they were expected to live in the shadows of men, rather than striking out on their own. Not predictable, and more about finding oneself and where you belong, set against stunningly drawn landscapes of war in town and countryside, and then the beauty and calm of Venice to bring life full circle.
