Críticas:
The past grabs hold and will not let you go in this uncanny and beautiful novel. Strange and delicious in the manner of Rebecca. --Sarah Blake, author of The Postmistress
We All Ran Into the Sunlight is the sort of intricate invention that only a few masters like Ian McEwan or Graham Greene could assemble. This novel will mesmerize you and it will break your heart. --Stefan Merrill Block, author of the Story of Forgetting
How extraordinary is the mind of the writer. Natalie Young has created a near-Gothic story of obsession and desire, set against the background of a sinister chateau, in both postwar and contemporary France. Definitely not for the faint-hearted... A true tour de force. --Mavis Cheek
Young's story, with all its pathos, secrets, cruelties, and, most of all, its vibrantly realised mise-en-scene, propels the reader onwards. --The Times

Reseña del editor:
In 1949, a young couple, Arnaud and Lucie Borja, leave the war-torn streets of Paris and head south, to the sleepy village of Canas where they have bought an old chateau and vineyard - a place, as Arnaud Borja says, for them to create a family and set up a business selling their own wine. Half a century later, the chateau is up for sale, the vines have gone to seed, and an English woman, holidaying nearby with her husband, has no idea that her interest in the derelict property is spreading rumours in the village. For Kate Glover, life in Canas offers a promise of change - an escape from a stifling marriage, and her relentless urban existence. What she cannot see, behind the apparently tranquil chateau walls, is the truth about the Borja family and the tragic legacy of their child, adopted from migrant workers in the 1950s, and later forced to leave in shame. Natalie Young's entrancing debut novel, set in the shimmering landscape of the southern Cevennes, alternates between the years immediately after the Second World War and the present-day to explore a dark family secret and its ripple effect on people's lives. It is a story of love and ownership, thwarted desire, and the damage done when the truth is withheld.
