Facing the Light By Adele Geras

It's August, and an extended family are gathering at a country house in Wiltshire. The occasion is Leonora’s 75th birthday. A formidable matriarch, she is the daughter of the famous Edwardian artist, Ethan Walsh, whose work she has devoted a lifetime to preserving. All families have their dark side, and Leonora’s is no exception. And, by the time the guests have gone home, two shocking past events will have come to light, changing the lives of Leonora, her two daughters, and even their children, for ever.
