English Summary/英文概要： April Greenough??s life has been on hold since the death of her five-year-old son. Convinced she was responsible, she lost her marriage and for a
long time, herself. Out of the blue comes a lawyer??s letter, and with it, a challenge: April has inherited an English manor house from a distant
relation. The house is almost a ruin but when April sees its former glory in an old photograph, for the first time in years she has a purpose.
Through the dapper family solicitor, Edward Rees, and the sprightly 90-year-old, Lady Sybil Una “Sunny” Day, April comes to learn the tragic
history of her relatives. Their only son James managed to survive the Second World War, only to die of exposure in a snow storm soon after.
Sunny, who was friends with James as a child, is full of stories – of her own joyful girlhood, the close friendship of James??s mother and her own,
the parties held at the house… And how James suddenly became a different person after the rushed wedding of the farmer??s daughter. Gradually, April starts to form a picture of the house she has come to love, and learns the truth about what happened there a lifetime before…
