Deborah Lawrenson has had her very first novel published in the United States, and a good story it is. The Lantern is a tale of love, loss….past, present….good, evil.
Eve met Dom and her entire life flipped upside down. She was soon moving overseas with him and settling into a picturesque house in Provence. Her passionate love for Dom overshadowed the gnawing feeling that she didn’t know everything about Dom and his past that she wished she did.
That first summer is warm and friendly and blissful. Slowly, though, their relationship begins to chill with the approaching season of fall. Eve can’t shake the uncomfortable thoughts that arise from within (and are suggested by her new “friend” Sabine). Why doesn’t Dom talk about his former life? Of his ex-wife, Rachel? Is it sadness or disgust that Eve senses within Dom’s memories of Rachel, his unwillingness to talk about her or anything about her?
Then an unsettling finding. Invasive investigations. Deception and dishonesty threaten to rip them apart. Les Genevriers’ house and land is holding a secret, too. How does the house’s past intermingle with Dom’s? And how will Eve ever find the truth about any of it?
