But her younger sister, Faith, refuses to consider a life without Eva; she's determined to find her sister and bring her home alive.

They were identical in every way Until the unthinkable tore them apart Isolte and Viola are twins. Inseparable as children, they've grown into very different adults: Isolte, a successful features writer for a fashion magazine with a photographer boyfriend and a flat in London, and Viola, desperately unhappy and struggling with a lifelong eating disorder. What happened all those years ago to set the twins on such different paths to adulthood? As both women start to unravel the escalating tragedies of a half-remembered summer, terrifying secrets from the past come rushing back - and threaten to overwhelm their adult lives...
Začína sa to na konci.
Začína sa to na lavičke na kopci, kde sedí žena a čaká na muža. Pred desiatimi rokmi uzavreli dohodu, že na tej lavičke v ten deň buď ukončia svoj ľúbostný príbeh, ktorý sa ťahá tri desaťročia, alebo ho opäť začnú. Nikdy sa nemali stretnúť. Nikdy sa nemali zamilovať. No stalo sa, až kým ich na dlhý čas nerozdelila séria lží a nešťastných náhod. Dokážu Cat a Sam napraviť svoje chyby, odpustiť si klamstvá, vymazať roky medzitým?
Naozaj sa dá znovu nájsť niečo dávno stratené?
Boli navlas rovnaké, kým ich osud nerozdelil.
Isolte a Viola sú dvojčatá. Ako deti sú nerozlučné, no v dospelosti sa od seba vzdialia. Z Isolte sa stane úspešná redaktorka módneho časopisu. Žije s priateľom fotografom vo svojom londýnskom byte. Viola sa utápa v zúfalstve a jej zdravie nebezpečne ohrozuje anorexia.
Ako sa odvíjal osud dvojčiat, kým sa dostali na také odlišné životné cesty? Vyrastali bez otca na samote v suffolských lesoch, bez vymožeností modernej civilizácie, ale aj bez jej obmedzení – slobodné, veselé, s bujnou fantáziou. Našli si tu kamarátov, dvojčatá Johna a Michaela, trochu divokých, nepredvídateľných chlapcov, s ktorými si dokonale porozumeli. Les so svojimi lákadlami i temnými záhadami a stará kamenná veža Martello sa stali miestom ich detských dobrodružstiev aj prvých nesmelých dotykov lásky.
Lenže tragické udalosti jedného leta všetko od základu zmenia a obidve sestry sa s nimi vyrovnávajú celé roky. Tajomstvá minulosti sa k nim ustavične vracajú a hrozí, že tak ako poznačili ich detstvo, ovplyvnia aj ich budúcnosť.
