Publisher Description

From master storyteller Barbara Taylor Bradford comes a magnificent new novel, a powerful, moving story of two women, two families, and an extraordinary friendship challenged by tragedy and a devastating secret from the past.... Some secrets are too terrible to share--even with your best friend.... Nothing hurts like the truth.  A truth that has haunted Claire Benson all her life. A truth that Claire has revealed to no one, not even to her best friend, International art dealer Laura Valiant. But the friendship that has sheltered both women throughout childhood, marriage and divorce is about to meet its greatest test.  Suddenly old nightmares surface as Claire turns to her dearest friend for help.  And as Laura's career leads her into the past, in an investigation of artwork stolen by the Nazis, she uncovers disturbing links to the present, to Claire, and a profoundly personal reason to follow a twisted trail to its surprising end....

"Actually listened to this on Cd. Was nice story, a little formulaic but maybe because I had just finished another one of her books. One of the story lines was about recapturing art stolen from jews during WWII. Liked that character the best, believe it was Laura."

    " It was ok at first then I kinda liked it ((that talking about art, the descriptions of paintings really loved that)) then I hated it, felt disgusting if I could say!! I can say it was ok but I still hate it.. "

    " A light summer read, but nothing more. I liked it, but I think she could have done more with her characters. Laura should have fought for her marriage; it seemed that she just gave up. It was like, oh well, we had a great seven years but it's over, bye. Not her best work. "
