England, 1937. Within the village of Blacknowle on the Dorset coast, 14-year-old Mitzy Hatcher has endured a wild and lonely upbringing. Shunned by her neighbours, the arrival of renowned artist Charles Aubrey - along with his exotic mistress and their daughters - is like a breath of fresh air. As Charles's muse, Mitzy develops a deep and abiding bond with the Aubrey household during the period of the following three summers. Gradually, Mitzy commences to perceive a future she had never thought possible, and a robust love is kindled in her. It really is a love that will grow as she does: from innocence to obsession, from childish infatuation to something far more complex. It'll be almost 75 years prior to the consequences of the potent desire are fully played out, as a man within an art gallery looks at a hastily-drawn portrait and wonders at the intensity of computer. The questions he asks will lead him back again to Blacknowle, and draw him to the truth about those fevered summers in the 1930s. Moving from the wilds of the Dorset coast to the intoxicating heat of an Moroccan summer, A Half Forgotten Song explores the quixotic nature of memory - and the perils of obsessive love. Audio edition read by Jacqueline King.
