Sunday Times bestselling author Georgina Moore returns with a novel about the transformative nature of young love and a betrayal that has long reaching consequences

When their dazzling, mercurial mother, Mira, dies, twins Teddy and Elliott must return to her summer house on the Cape, a house that was once their paradise, before the summer that changed everything.

Teddy and Elliott are just sixteen when their father allows them to visit their mother in America, following their divorce. At Summer House, over two long hot summers, the twins lives will change for ever. Drawn into the seductive world of privilege, late-night swimming, and Mira’s legendary bohemian soirees, both Teddy and Elliott will fall in love for the first time. But nothing will be the same again.

Years later, Teddy, now a mother and struggling novelist, returns with a daughter of her own to care for their ailing father. But in doing so she must confront Mira’s legacy, the letters, the secrets and the past they tried so hard to bury.

Evocative, propulsive and richly human, Summer House is a page-turning family saga about identity, loyalty and the ways we inherit one another’s secrets.
