Another author that is relatively new to me is Lesley Lokko. I think we may have posted something about her last book but apart from that, she’s never really come to my attention. However I was browsing around the web and came across the cover for her next book One Secret Summer which is due out on 30th September 2010. I think the cover looks really nice and the synopsis sounds intriguing, too:
The Keelers are one of those nice, middle-class English families who seem to have it all. Diana is the matriarch - a highly successful barrister and QC, she’s the force that keeps everyone and everything together. Her sons Rafe, Aaron and Josh are in their mid-thirties when they each, in turn, get married. The arrival into the family of three very different women - Maddy, an American actress; Julia, lawyer with working-class roots and Niela, a young Somali refugee - upsets the carefully constructed balance of family life that Diana has worked so hard to maintain. There’s a dreadful secret at the heart of the Keeler family and slowly, each of the women in her own way, begins to unravel what it is that Diana has kept hidden for so long. Touched with glamour and escapism, this riveting new novel from Lesley Lokko takes you right to the heart of a family secret.
