| Summary: | People disappear when they most want to be seen. Jess Walker has come to a concrete campus under the flat grey skies of East Anglia for one reason, to be taught by the mesmerizing and rebellious Dr. Lorna Clay, whose seminars soon transform Jess's thinking on life, love and Agatha Christie. Swept up in Lorna's thrall, Jess falls in with a tightly-knit group of rulebreakers, Alec, a courageous South African journalist with a nihilistic streak, Georgie, a seductive, pill-popping aristocrat and Nick, a handsome geologist with layers of his own. But when tragedy strikes the group, Jess turns to Lorna. Together, the two seek refuge on a remote Italian island, where Jess tastes the life she's long dreamed of, and uncovers a shocking secret that will challenge everything she's learned. |
