Marie Gilles is at the airport. She reads a newspaper article about three elderly people who have died in a house in Primrose Hill during a heat wave in London. Marie suffers a panic attack, and feelings of guilt - could she be responsible for their deaths?
Skipping backwards and forwards in time, the book comes to explain who the three elderly people were, how they came to be living together and what their connection with Marie is.
A depiction of the secret world of the brothels of London in the sixties, this book did evoke a particular time and place.
I enjoyed this book, and found it interesting the way that some events were described over and again, but from different people's perspectives.
