Emilie de la Martinières, dernière descendante d'une illustre famille, hérite du château entouré de vignobles où elle a passé une jeunesse difficile, dans le sud de la France, avec une mère froide et distante. Mais elle hérite surtout d'une montagne de dettes et de nombreuses interrogations sur l'histoire de sa famille. La découverte d'un ancien cahier la conduit sur les traces de Constance, jeune femme mystérieuse dont l'histoire remonte aux années 1940. Pendant l'Occupation, elle avait trouvé refuge au château, accueillie par des aristocrates aux lourds secrets. Quand Emilie découvre l'histoire de Constance et ce qui est réellement arrivé pendant le guerre, elle porte progressivement un autre regard sur ses ancêtres et ce magnifique château d'enfance qui, désormais, lui appartient. Un héritage qui pourrait l'aider à percer certains mystères du passé... Lucinda Riley est l'auteur de quatre romans, tous des best-sellers dans le monde entier et traduits dans 26 langues : plus de 3 millions de lecteurs. En France, l'accueil critique et public de La maison de l'orchidée a été enthousiaste.
