Set against the background of a lush, richly magical Corfu, Deborah Lawrenson's new novel begins with an inscription in a book belonging to a woman lying in a hospital bed in England. Elizabeth has Alzheimer's, and, in a rare lucid moment, has given the book to her daughter, Melissa. The inscription reads: 'To Elizabeth, always remembering Corfu and could have been'. Melissa, hurting from her husband's latest indiscretion, travels to Corfu to find out .The words are from the poet and novelist Julian Adie, and hint at a relationship that was more than platonic. But as Melissa delves further into her mother and Julian Adie's shared past, a dark secret is uncovered. What exactly did her mother have to do with the death of Adie's ex-lover? This is a moving novel about love and loss, the tricks and twists of memory and how, as tempting as the remembered past is, we must live in the present and look to the future.
