Bei einem Spaziergang an der Steilküste von Dunworley Bay wird Grania jäh aus ihren trüben Gedanken gerissen: Am Rande der Klippen steht ein Mädchen, barfuss und nur mit einem Nachthemd bekleidet. Der Wind zerrt an der zerbrechlichen Gestalt, und von plötzlicher Sorge ergriffen spricht sie das Kind an. ? Ohne es zu ahnen, stösst Grania durch diese Begegnung die Tür zu einer über Generationen reichenden, tragischen Familiengeschichte auf ? ihrer Geschichte. Lucinda Riley hat viele Jahre ihrer Kindheit in Bangkok verbracht. Sie liebt es zu reisen und ist auch heute noch ganz besonders dem Fernen Osten verbunden.
