Description

Forbidden by her parents to become a musician, Kate Bradley is stunned when her small daughter reveals an exceptional talent for the piano. Kate is determined to give Alicia the chance to succeed and it s not long before the fame of the Peak District prodigy begins to spread. Alicia, though, craves her father s approval: Guy, with a demanding job, is rarely at home, alienated by Kate s obsession with her daughter s burgeoning career. Meanwhile Alicia s tearaway brother is sidelined, and warns his sister that Kate doesn t mother her but smother her.
As the heap of white lies designed to keep Alicia concentrating on her piano in peace escalates into a mountain of deceit, conflict threatens to overwhelm the entire family - with potentially devastating consequences.
