      Quand Greg, un adolescent feru de photographie, decouvre les ruines de la demeure de Graveney Hall, il sait tout de suite qu'il tient un beau sujet. Epaule par Faith, la fille d'un benevole qui restaure la propriete, il va tenter de percer le secret de cette mysterieuse batisse et de son dernier heritier, Edmund Pearson, disparu dans d'etonnantes circonstances pendant la Premiere Guerre mondiale. L'enquete va reveler bien plus de choses sur lui-meme que Greg n'aurait pu l'imaginer. L'auteur tres remarquee du roman De pierre et de cendre n'a pas son pareil pour recreer l'atmosphere et les mentalites d'hier, cerner les interrogations et les ideaux d'aujourd'hui, et rendre emouvant un recit ou se melent l'etrange, le poids de l'Histoire, la violence et le desir.
