• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What price would you pay for love? Esther Williams is thirty and single. She has been nowhere, done nothing, loved no one except her recently deceased grandfather. Her life is one of routine and order, following the same pattern week after week. That is, until she meets Raymond Banks. Raymond is unassuming but insistent, and each conversation with him brings Esther further out of her shell. He alters her awareness of the world, and their budding love is soon cemented with a proposal. For the first time ever, she feels truly alive. But marriage to Raymond brings a different kind of order, one of increasing control and possession. When Esther discovers something that threatens their happiness, she is forced to decide whether true love really should conquer all. An unsettling portrait of love in all its guises, A Spring of Love asks the most sinister question of all - can we ever truly know anyone.
