A remarkable & moving story about the allegiances of family life, To the Lighthouse is Virginia Wolf’s most autobiographical novel.
...
A three-year-old girl is snatched from a beach. Nobody heard a sound. Nobody saw a thing. Rosie Gilmour's much-needed holiday is cut short when the abduction story breaks & she's sent to cover it. Her instincts tell her something's wrong: such a crime must surely have witnesses, & the girl's mother's story doesn't add up. With a child's life at stake, Rosie must dig deeper into the seedy depths of the area, making dangerous enemies. As she closes in on the truth, she realises the penalty for missing this particular deadline could be her own demise.
