      When Vanessa West and her mother Marion travel to Ashagiri, the Indian hill town where Marion grew up, they embark on a journey in search of the past. They find Ashagiri, nestled in the mountains, still enveloped by blue skies and clouds, still dotted with prayer flags and temples. The Ashagiri Club is still open, with its oak-panelled billiard rooms and eccentric residents. Dreaming Rock, where Marion played with her school friends, is as beautiful and remote. But time has taken the Ashagiri of Marion's memories and transformed it. And someone else has travelled back to Ashagiri, forcing Marion to re-evaluate a long-forgotten accident, and to recognise that her past - once thought idyllic - cannot be owned, nor memory trusted.

      There was nowhere to go and nothing to do. Absolutely, definitely nothing to do. Even the matter of our boredom - held up and studied from all sides - had long since been exhausted as a topic of conversation. We sat around the shed in a vacant silence, broken only by the rustling of Julia's fingers as she picked at the insides of the sofa. All we ever do is sit around I complained. Sophie Barrett lives an odd, cautious, life until the morning she arrives to find her colleague has committed suicide in the basement of the shop where they both work. The death raises frightening, long-buried questions that Sophie can no longer afford to ignore. To answer them, she must return to the summer she was fourteen and a friendship between three very different girls, bound together by time, place and a life-changing secret. Julia, all energy and swagger, Nancy, lost in her own peculiar universe and Sophie, the follower, fearful and admiring. But while they dream, events are already in motion that will propel them towards tragedy, taking their innocence and threatening their friendship itself.
