The French Riviera has long been a setting for wealth and romance but between the wars it was also the home for writers from all over the world. For many it was a cheap place 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 they all found 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 these six best-selling twentieth century writers who lived, loved and wrote in the South of France.
