Description:

A woman discovers a collection of invaluable antiquities in her late-grandparents' flat in Athens, in this luminous, searching novel about passion, injustice and redemption from the bestselling author of The Island.

Concealed beneath the dust sheets in the Athens apartment she has inherited from her grandparents, Helena McCloud discovers a hidden hoard of rare antiquities, amassed during a dark period in Greek history when the city and its people were gripped by a brutal military dictatorship.

Helena's fascination for archaeology, ignited by a summer spent on a dig on an Aegean island, tells her that she must return these precious artefacts to their rightful place. Only then will she be able to allay the darkness of the past and find the true meaning of home - for cultural treasures and for herself.

Number One Sunday Times bestseller Victoria Hislop's powerful new novel shines a light on the questionable acquisition of antiquities and the price people will pay to possess them.
