Summary

"Washington, DC, 2019: Laura Preston is a reclusive artist at odds with her older sister, Beatrice, as their elegant, formidable mother slowly slides into dementia. When a stranger contacts Laura claiming to be her brother, who disappeared nearly fifty years earlier when the family lived in Bangkok, she ignores Bea's warnings of a scam and flies to Thailand to see if it can be true. Bangkok, 1972: Genevieve and Robert Preston live in a beautiful house behind a high wall, raising their three children with the help of a cadre of servants. In these unfamiliar surroundings, Genevieve strives to create a semblance of the life they would have had at home in the US--ballet and riding classes for the children, impeccable dinner parties, a meticulously kept home. But in truth, Robert works for American intelligence, Genevieve finds herself drawn into a passionate affair with her husband's boss, and their serene household is vulnerable to unseen dangers in a rapidly changing world and a country they don't really understand."--, Provided by publisher
