That Summer

In Lauren Willig's That Summer, readers embark on a captivating journey that weaves together the lives of two women separated by more than a century. In 2009, Julia Conley discovers her inheritance of a mysterious house outside London, prompting a confrontation with her past and the unfolding of hidden memories—especially upon uncovering a concealed pre-Raphaelite painting. Simultaneously, in 1849, Imogen Grantham navigates the constraints of a stifling marriage and a burgeoning connection with an insightful painter, Gavin Thorne, setting in motion a series of events that will alter their lives forever.
