Book description
From Berlin in the 1930s to contemporary London – Laura Conway has photographed it all.
She’s famed throughout the world for her shots of subjects as diverse as the innocent children and the drop-outs of pre-War Berlin to long-legged catwalk models. Now she is seventy-five, and the art world is celebrating Laura’s birthday with a glittering opening party at her retrospective exhibition. And Cassie, her journalist granddaughter, has discovered the perfect present – she’s tracked down the very handcrafted desk belonging to Laura at the start of her career, back in Berlin.
But the moment of unveiling brings only shock and sorrow. Cassie is horrified. What can the beautiful desk possible mean to her beloved grandmother? What dreadful memories has it brought back? Cassie begins to realize that Laura, always so ready to listen and advise on the trials of love of those around her, has never really come clean about her own affairs of the heart.
