What attracts Eve to Dom? How does their relationship change over the course of the novel? Are they unrealistic in what they want from each other? 3. How does the prologue set the tone of The Lantern? 2. She knew the bitter taste of heartbreak and tragedy-long-buried family secrets and evil deeds that, once unearthed, will hold shocking and unexpected consequences for Eve.

B'n'dicte Lincel, the house's former owner, thrived as a young girl within the rich elements of the landscape: the violets hidden in the woodland, the warm wind through the almond trees. Is it a ghost from the past or a manifestation of her current troubles with Dom? Can she trust Dom, or could her life be in danger? Eve does not know that Les Gen'vriers has been haunted before. Bright, warm rooms have turned cold and uninviting shadows now fall unexpectedly and Eve senses a presence moving through the garden. Like its owner, Les Gen'vriers is also changing. The more reticent Dom is to explain, the more Eve becomes obsessed with finding answers-and with unraveling the mystery of his absent, beautiful ex-wife, Rachel. Though Eve knows he bears the emotional scars of a failed marriage-one he refuses to talk about-his silence arouses suspicion and uncertainty.

But with autumn's arrival the days begin to cool, and so, too, does Dom.

Deeply in love and surrounded by music, books, and the heady summer scents of the French countryside, Eve has never felt more alive. Each enchanting day delivers happy discoveries: hidden chambers, secret vaults, a beautiful wrought-iron lantern. When Eve falls for the secretive, charming Dom in Switzerland, their whirlwind relationship leads them to Les Gen'vriers, an abandoned house set among the fragrant lavender fields of the South of France.
