Aleppo, 1611. Celia Lamprey and her husband, Paul Pindar, the Levant Company consul, are to set sail for England after ten years away. They find a country much changed, James I has succeeded Queen Elizabeth and the Renaissance is flourishing. Pindar's great house at Bishopsgate is being restored to its former glory. But all is not as it seems. Between the couple lies a great, unspoken darkness. And, as they await the arrival of Celia's friend Annetta, the alluring widow Frances Sydenham becomes increasingly indispensable to the household - and its members. A sumptuous, richly woven novel from a master of historical fiction.
