2009: When Julia Conley hears that she has inherited a house outside London from an unknown great-aunt, she assumes it's a joke. But when she arrives at Herne Hill to sort through the house, bits of memory start coming back. And then she discovers a pre-Raphaelite painting, hidden behind the false back of an old wardrobe, and a window onto the house's shrouded history begins to open...1849: Imogen Grantham has spent nearly a decade trapped in a loveless marriage to a much older man, Arthur. The one bright spot in her life is her step-daughter, Evie, a high-spirited sixteen year old who is the closest thing to a child Imogen hopes to have. When Arthur hires Gavin Thorne to paint her portrait, none of them can guess what the hands of fate have set in motion.
