In an idyllic mountain spot in the Levant, Beatrice Markland witnessed something terrible. She was told to forget what she'd seen and she did; she blocked it out of her memory for good. But over 30 years later, Beatrice - now living in Oxford, married with a daughter - is starting to remember.

Veronica Stallwood was born in London, educated abroad and now lives near Oxford. In the past she has worked at the Bodleian Library and more recently at New College Library.
