A magnificent story of lost love and family secrets that unfolds between present-day Valencia and the Spanish Civil War. In the mountainous area of Valencia, a forgotten house holds its secrets. Abandoned since Franco's troops ravaged Spain in 1936, its walls have crumbled and the garden has been overgrown by weeds. Guided by a series of letters and a key left to her by her mother, Emma Temple leaves her job as a perfumer in London to restore the now-ruinous country house to its former glory. As it reveals its secrets, Emma delves deeper into the story of her grandmother, a British nurse who spent the Civil War in Spain as a volunteer. She soon realizes that wanting to leave the past behind is one thing, but having it let you is quite another.
