Un quadro innesca una serie di eventi esplosivi che si manifestano nel tempo, talvolta con delicatezza, talvolta con forza devastante. L'autrice affronta temi come il razzismo, il fascismo spagnolo e il ruolo della donna, enfatizzando l'importanza dell'arte e della pittura. La narrazione non offre un lieto fine, poiché la solitudine è un destino ineluttabile per l'umanità, anche per coloro che creano personaggi di carta. In una calda mattina di luglio, Odelle Bastien sale le scale della Skelton Gallery di Londra, consapevole che la sua vita sta per cambiare. Da Trinidad, dove è arrivata cinque anni prima, ha lottato per trovare il suo posto, iniziando come commessa. Alla Skelton, lavora come dattilografa per l'affascinante Marjorie Quick. La timida Odelle attira l'attenzione di un giovane che porta un dipinto di famiglia alla galleria. La reazione di Marjorie, scossa dalla vista del quadro, e quella del proprietario della galleria, che cerca di nascondere il suo disagio, suggeriscono un mistero profondo. La chiave per svelare questo enigma risale al 1936, in una grande casa nella campagna spagnola, dove si nascondono segreti in grado di sconvolgere la quieta galleria e la vita di Odelle.

The heart-warming and romantic SUNDAY TIMES bestseller: the perfect escape One little mistake and nothing will ever be the same again! On the one hand, if Essie hadn't written that letter - the one that only her best friend was meant to see - then she'd still be living like an actual proper grown-up, tucked up with Paul in his picture-perfect cottage, maybe even planning their wedding... On the other hand (if her true feelings hadn't accidentally taken the internet by storm, that is) she wouldn't have moved into the attic flat on the square. She would never have met Conor.
