Publisher's Synopsis
On a sultry summer's day in 1980, five friends stumble upon an abandoned lakeside cottage. For Kat and her friends, it offers an escape; a chance to drop out for a while, with lazy summer days by the lake and intimate winter evenings around the fire. But as the seasons change, tensions begin to rise and when an unexpected visitor appears, nothing will be the same again...Three decades later, Lila arrives at the same remote cottage. With her marriage in crisis, she finds solace in renovating the tumbledown house. Little by little she wonders about the previous inhabitants. How did they manage in such isolation? Most disturbing of all, why can't she shake the feeling that someone might be watching her?
