Description
It is July, three months after Lara's seventeenth birthday, and a week before Charles and Diana's Royal Wedding. When Lara's father, a man she barely knows, invites her to accompany him on holiday, she finds herself far away from the fumes of London's Holloway Road in the sun-scorched hillsides of Tuscany.
There she meets the Willoughby family, rife with illicit alliances and vendettas. The more embroiled Lara becomes with them, and with the carelessly beautiful Kip, the more consumed she is with doubt, curiosity, and dread. And so begins her intoxicating, troubled journey into self-discovery and across the very fine line between childhood and what lies beyond.
Love Falls by Esther Freud vividly portrays this poignant journey of growth and self-understanding against the backdrop of an unforgettable summer in Tuscany.
