Goose and his three sisters gather at the family's house by Lake Orta in Piedmont Italy. Their father a famous artist has recently remarried a much younger woman and decamped to Italy to finish his masterpiece. Now he is dead and there is no sign of a painting.

I couldn't love it more.' - Harriet Evans author of The Garden of Lost and Found
