AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'In the sweltering summer of 1967, Judith Maloney, a young Australian girl working in the south of France, witnesses the aftermath of a brutal crime. Thirty years later, the events of that day are still with Judith as her daughter — unaware of the confidences and betrayals they carry — persuades her to return to France with her. There, the fountain of Vaucluse, site of the world's deepest subterranean well, brings the secrets of that distant summer shimmering back to the surface. With them comes the hidden story of the place itself — of occupation and resistance, and of a betrayal far darker than Judith could have imagined.'
