Beth Lowe receives a parcel containing a letter about her estranged mother's death and a scrapbook titled 'The Book of Summers'. This book documents the seven childhood summers Beth spent in rural Hungary, a period marked by the complexities of her parents' separation and her dual cultural identity. The scrapbook captures memories of her Hungarian mother and English father, a vibrant artist's home in Hungary, and a quiet cottage in Devon. These formative years ended abruptly when Beth turned sixteen, leading her to suppress these memories until the scrapbook's arrival brings the past vividly back.
