Seven Treasures

$20.00

Divorced, unemployed and somewhat the worse for wear, Sydneysider Mark buys an ancient village house in the south of France, hoping to find meaning and perhaps love again. Selling its accumulated bric-a-brac cheaply at the village market, he has no idea what he is giving away.

When newfound love Monique helps him restore one small unsold painting — overlooked, damaged, unremarkable — they begin to suspect it may be something extraordinary. Following its provenance leads them somewhere neither of them expected, and into a story of betrayal, violence and loss that reaches back to the darkest years of the twentieth century.

Seven Treasures is a love story, a present-day mystery, and a World War II thriller — three narratives braided together around a house, a painting, and the secrets that objects carry long after the people who hid them are gone.
