Synopsis

Twins Aaron and Clive have been estranged for 40 years. Aaron still lives in the empty, crumbling tower block on the riverside in Deptford where they grew up. Clive is a successful property developer, determined to turn the tower into luxury flats. But Aaron is blocking the plan and their petty squabble becomes something much greater when two ghosts from the past - twins Annette and Christine - appear in the tower. At once, the desolate estate becomes a stage on which the events of one scorching summer are relived - a summer that shattered their lives, and changed everything forever. . .

Goodreads review by Mrs A & Mr R Robinson on November 05, 2021

Having read lots of 5* reviews on this book, I feel a bit like I’ve read a different story to everyone else and I am wondering why I did not feel the same way about it as others said they did in their reviews.
