The summer of 1967. A decaying Suffolk estate. An artist is painting a portrait of thirteen-year-old Maisie and her two sisters — the beautiful Julia and the bookish Finn. As the sittings unfold, Maisie begins her own portrait: a secret account of her family, her village, and Daniel Nunn, a young man she idolises from across an unbridgeable class divide.

But Maisie’s idyllic summer is not quite what it seems. By its end, the three sisters’ lives will be irrevocably — and terribly — changed.

Twenty-four years later, in London, the famous portrait resurfaces in a major retrospective. Daniel Nunn, haunted by the England of his childhood and obsessed with what really happened that summer, sets out to uncover the truth buried in the past.

Rich, atmospheric, and quietly devastating, The Landscape of Love is a masterfully layered novel about memory, class, secrets, and the long shadow of a single summer.
