Things we knew were true

"At sixteen Edie knows things. She knows that her mother is beautiful, that her older sister Stella is the golden girl of the family, and that her father - clumsy, quiet Vic - is loving, gentle, sometimes detached. She knows she loves Ricky, even if her parents don't approve. Then one autumn morning Vic fails to return from work. For twenty years Edie agonizes over the truth - what happened to her father? What became of her lost teenage love? Sifting through childhood belongings, Edie is faced with her unresolved past, and makes a passionate and dangerous attempt to return to it."@en
"At sixteen Edie knew things. She knew that her mother was charming and beautiful, that her older sister Stella was the star of the family and that her father, clumsy, quiet Vic, was loving and gentle. Then Edie discovered what it was to fall in love; she dared to let herself be happy. But in one terrible moment of tragedy, her teenage dreams were torn apart. Twenty years on, Edie is now a mother and wife. When family duty calls, the sisters come together again, and it looks like the truth of what happened all those years ago may finally become clear."
