1990: Sophie is a fresher student at Oxford University. Out of her depth and nervous about her surroundings, she falls into an uneasy friendship with a group of older students from the upper echelons of society and begins to develop feelings for one in particular. He’s confident, quiet, attractive and seems to like her too. But as the year progresses, her friends’ behaviour grows steadily more disconcerting and Sophie begins to realise she might just be a disposable pawn in a very sinister game.
2019: Julianne is preparing a family dinner when her son comes to her and says he’s found something on his iPad. Something so terrible, it will turn Julianne’s world into a nightmare and make her question everything about her marriage and what type of man her husband is or is pretending to be.
Both cities act as mere backdrops to a story which centres about Victorian literature, sex and sex in Victorian literature. Secrets on ipads, more secrets in dropbox and things you wish you could unsee.

The bookshop of choice for the students in the book and so this is definately worth a visit whatever your taste in fiction. Always love a reference to a bookshop in a novel!
