The unforgettable, award-winning bestseller - a story of love, guilt, betrayal and atonement

'You can't love someone without knowing their whole story . . .'

Fleeing a pitch-dark past, Emilia Innocenti arrives in a tiny village deep in the mountains of Piedmont, Northern Italy, with one aim; to hide away from the world. Surrounded only by a handful of inhabitants, the looming Alps and the weight of her own terrible crime, Emilia is determined to let isolation be her punishment.

Equally intent on cutting himself off from the world is Bruno, one of her only neighbours. In the wake of a devastating loss, living in complete solitude seems like the perfect complement to the pain in his heart. But when Emilia and Bruno meet, the two realise they can't be alone forever - and maybe, they no longer want to be.

As Emilia's dark secret threatens to break the surface, both will question everything they thought they knew about each other - and themselves . . .

From bestselling Italian literary sensation Silvia Avallone, Dark Heart is the shocking, deeply moving story of trauma, love and forgiveness, set against an unforgettable mountainous backdrop.

'It's no surprise that this urgent, intense, prizewinner sold more than 200,000 hardbacks in Italy with rights snapped up in 27 territories. Avallone is an international sensation' The Bookseller
