THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A masterpiece' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'Ambitious, demanding and profoundly melancholy' GUARDIAN Dr. Robert Hendricks has just received a mysterious invitation. Psychiatrist Alexander Pereira has asked him to stay at his villa on a French island. But what starts out as an intellectual exchange soon becomes a cat and mouse game that brings to the surface a history of war and a lost love that Hendricks had thought buried. A gripping exploration of the mysteries of memory, Where My Heart Used to Beat is a stunning and thrilling novel of past lives and the indelible scars of love.
