Description
Jerusalem, 1920: in an already fractured city, eleven-year-old Prudence feels the tension rising as she eavesdrops in tearooms, frequented by the city's elite. British colonials, exiled Armenians and German officials rub shoulders as they line up the pieces in a destructive political game. When Prue's father employs William Harrington, Prue is uncomfortably aware of the attraction that sparks between him and Eleanora, the wife of a famous photographer. Years later, in 1937, Prue is living a reclusive life, when Harrington pays her a visit. What he reveals sets to unravel her world and she must follow the threads that lead her back to secrets, long-ago buried in Jerusalem.
