'A BIG, BRAVE, INTROSPECTIVE BOOK TO SAVOUR' (She magazine)
This is a story of a passionate relationship, built on conflicting drives of love, sexuality and loyalty, that is tested to the full when it comes under prolonged threat.
When they were children at Foscote an enduring and seemingly unbreakable bond was forged between Laurie Stone and Claire Haddingham.
Tested by dawning maturity and adult defection, the bond held firm. For neither Claire (the dedicated researcher) nor Laurie (campus hero, talented TV pundit and everyone's favourite party guest despite his hidden conflicts) could contemplate life without the other.
But then the beautiful Lydia came to live with them. Claire was quick to recognize the power she was gaining over Laurie – and also her air of malign purpose. As the threat intensifies, Claire, who has long observed in herself a capacity for ruthlessness in her love, is driven to take decisive action.
