The French Riviera has long been a setting for wealth and romance, but between the wars it was also the home of writers from all over the world. For many it was a cheap place in which to live well; for others the climate was good for their health; while some were fleeing romance, addiction, and even prosecution. They all found a haven of sunlight and beauty and the space to live in their imaginations and write their masterpieces but what terrible secrets did they bring with them? Sunlight and Shadows explores the lives and works of six bestselling twentieth-century writers who lived, loved and wrote in the South of France.
