Περίληψη: | One blue-skied afternoon, 20-year-old Elise Morceau is mooching around Hampstead Heath in north London when she catches the eye of Constance (“Connie”) Holden, an imperious novelist of glittering renown. Elise is used to being looked at but until she snags the older woman’s gaze, her beauty has always left her feeling strangely unseen. It’s 1980, early winter, and a relationship ignites – initially nurturing, then torrid, as Elise, motherless from the age of nine, allows herself to love and be loved.
