In 1914, Sir Anthony Valentine builds a chalet high up in the French Alps and every summer les rosbifs arrive, to the benefit of the curious locals who work for them.
For Mathilde, one of the domestic ‘uglies’ chosen so as not to attract Sir Anthony’s roving eye, it proves to be a deeper commitment: her life is shaped by the Valentines.
Later, George, a great-great-grandson, finds healing for his grief among the mountains. Between those two generations is spun a family history of secrets, silences and tragedy.
