FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING, PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR THE DUTCH HOUSE AND TOM LAKE 'One of the most beloved authors of her generation' SUNDAY TIMES __________ When Daphne notices an older gentleman following her around the Met museum in New York, she doesn't expect it to be Eddie - her former stepfather. Married to her mother for a short time when Daphne was nine, she hasn't seen Eddie for many years; not since the fateful event that changed the direction of both their lives. But meeting again now, time falls away; while their relationship was brief, it had a profound impact on them both. And reflecting on the short, intense time they spent with each other, they begin to piece together the moments that have defined them and shaped who they have become. A moving, luminous story about how family, memory, and love endures, Whistler paints an intimate portrait of how the feeling of being known by one other person, even for a short period of time, can change everything. __________
