On a summer afternoon in 1955, teenagers Alexander, Tom and his sister Lennie discover the body of their friend Danny in the river on the Richmond estate - home of the aristocratic Alexander and his mother Lady Venetia. But did Danny jump or was he pushed? So begins a twisting tale of unrequited love, betrayal, class division and grief, as the book hops around between timelines to tell the story of how Danny ended up dead. And with Alexander supposedly in love with Lennie, and his uncle making a play for the widowed Venetia, there are lots of secrets about to surface in this evocative and engrossing book.
