In the summer of 1976, on holiday in South Wales, fifteen-year-old Richard is shocked and fascinated to meet the tenants of the historic Wish House. Jay Dalton is a well-known artist, and his large, bohemian family – casually stripping naked on the beach, smoking dope, ignoring convention – seem astonishingly glamorous. Richard falls under the spell of beautiful, free-spirited Clio, Jay’s daughter. She seduces him in a secret forest grotto, where they spend idyllic days playing out her favourite Celtic myths of brave grail knights and powerful enchantresses. But why does Jay paint so many nude studies of Clio? Why is he obsessed with the need to paint Richard? Why does his wife grow poisonous plants in her Witch’s Garden? The Daltons’ dark secrets draw Richard into a world of disturbing relationships, where he discovers, too late, that his innocent arrival at the Wish House was no accident . . .

Condizione: Very Good. : En el verano de 1976, durante unas vacaciones en el sur de Gales, Richard, de quince años, se siente impactado y fascinado al conocer a los inquilinos de la histórica Wish House. Jay Dalton es un artista conocido, y su gran familia bohemia parece asombrosamente glamurosa. Richard cae bajo el hechizo de la hermosa y de espíritu libre Clio, la hija de Jay. Ella lo seduce en una gruta secreta del bosque, donde pasan días idílicos representando sus mitos celtas favoritos de valientes caballeros del grial y poderosas hechiceras. Pero, ¿por qué Jay pinta tantos estudios de desnudos de Clio? ¿Por qué está obsesionado con la necesidad de pintar a Richard? ¿Por qué su esposa cultiva plantas venenosas en su Jardín de la Bruja? Los oscuros secretos de los Dalton arrastran a Richard a un mundo de relaciones inquietantes, donde descubre, demasiado tarde, que su inocente llegada a la Wish House no fue un accidente.
