Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Freddie Ottaway breaks all the rules of the British Colonial Service by falling in love with a beautiful native girl, Amala Mohammed. As colonial Kenya drifts slowly into disorder during the Mau-Mau insurgency, the authorities decide to move him on. But the consequences are tragic. Half a century later his nephew Edward, a failed London city dealer, stumbles into the real story of what happened all those years before. As he does so, he learns more about himself than he dreamed possible, as well as unearthing a shocking secret buried in the tiny north country community where he washes up one dark day in February. Behind it all lurks the comic-macabre figure of Malinov, KGB agent turned Russian oligarch. A story of love, honour and belief, and the endless search for direction that being human entails.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Marcellian had seen death in all it shapes and sizes in most quarters of the globe. He was never shocked. But when he stood below the burning lights of the police mortuary and identified the face he remembered from his childhood, his life changed direction for ever. It was the start of a journey; a journey that would take him into a dark past; a journey that would show him the cruel ways of the world; a journey that would teach the true meaning of life. This is a tale of four people whose paths are drawn inextricably together as they follow their destinies through the violent years of World War II and the menacing Cold War years that followed. The narrative steers a course from the ivory towers of Cambridge to the battlefields of northern France; from the windswept deserts of north Africa to the frozen hillsides of German-occupied Norway; from the ruins of 1950s West Berlin to the dark world of the British intelligence services. And for two of them, Marcellian and Gabby, thrown together by the pain of their memories, there is at last peace, like a white light shining in the dark; a story of unexpected love, chiselled out of the granite of experience, simple but true. 'At the end of it all, what is there but the beauty of a blue sky on a summer's day and the love of another?' This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "What a wonderful story. Beautifully written by a clear wordsmith" Charlotte Duncan "Suspense, intrigue, descriptions and emotion all makes a fantastic read, I couldn't put it down" Edinburgh "There were some very tender moments which could not fail to stir ones emotions and feelings and the understanding and complexity of the past which fails to be left behind is well written. A must for all to enjoy reading." An Amazon Customer 'What is it Peter?' she said, after a while. 'I can never get used to this, Alexi. Having you, that is. How did I deserve you?' 'Deserve me? You don't have to do anything to deserve me. I love you. It's as simple as that. I love you for what you are. All you need to do is love me back. You don't earn love, as a payment in return.' Peter Kingsmill's life had run into the sands since the death of his wife. What was a glittering London career had lost its shine. Until, that is, his life is turned upside down by an unexpected collision of events. He inherits the family estate, meets a girl seventeen years his junior and receives an anonymous letter which casts doubt on all the certainties on which he has built his past life. What follows is a journey of discovery which takes him back in time to war-torn Europe. To a story of betrayal in the secret world of spies and double agents, and ultimately to redemption and a bright new life. The narrative moves at speed from the dusty plains of pre-war Poland to the frozen winter landscapes of German-occupied Norway and finally to the gentle pastoral of the north Yorkshire hills. It is a story of a search for the pieces that make up a human life; and of the love that binds those pieces together. '.Do you remember the Snow Queen story? I can complete the pattern now. I have everything I need.' This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
