A masterpiece — Anita Brookner
A very beautiful novel — Nick Hornby

At the turn of the twentieth century, two children play on an English beach. Eustace, a gentle, dreamy boy with a weak heart, relies on his older sister Hilda.
As young adults, Eustace and Hilda are unexpectedly invited to stay at the grand country house of the wealthy Staveley family. The weekend's events will haunt the siblings' lives as their story travels from Oxford colleges to Venetian palazzi.
