Riassunto

When their grandmother dies, Grace and Andrew Easton inherit her sprawling, book-filled London home, Dinmont House. Rather than sell it, the adult siblings decide to move in together. The arrangement is unusual, but ideal for them -- until the day Andrew brings home a boyfriend. James is a devilishly handsome novelist, but his strident comments about Grace's doctoral thesis puncture the house's idyllic atmosphere. When he and Andrew witness their friend's murder outside a London nightclub, James begins to unravel -- and what happens next will change their lives.

Just as turmoil sets in at Dinmont House, Grace escapes into reading a manuscript -- a novel from 1951 called The Child's Child -- never published, due to its frank sexual depictions. The book is the story of two siblings, John and Maud, born a few years after World War One.-- a story that eerily mirrors the present-day Andrew and Grace.
