SARAH HARRISON A SPELL OF SWALLOWS IN CAPE TOWN

Would you risk a stable marriage for a dangerous affair? Vivien Mariner loves her husband; and is adored by him in return. So why does she find herself so strongly drawn to John Ashe; the enigmatic stranger who appears in Eadenford; as if from nowhere; the summer after the Great War ends?¿ Helping around the house and garden; Ashe quickly makes himself indispensable at the vicarage; insinuating himself ever deeper into village life. As the vicar's wife; Vivien must be above suspicion; but will the dark; dangerous pull of passion prove too strong for her to resist? The character of John Ashe has been a powerful presence in Sarah Harrison's two most recent novels; SWAN MUSIC and THE NIGHTINGALE'S NEST. But only now do we learn the full story of the events that moulded the man. Interweaving a devastating account of the bloody chaos of war with the ruthless seduction of a principled woman; Sarah paints an absorbing picture of the vulnerability of love.
