De: Charlotte Betts

Narrado por: Emma Powell

From the award-winning author of The Apothecary's Daughter comes The Fading of the Light, the next book in the Spindrift Trilogy - a beautifully evocative family drama, perfect for fans of Santa Montefiore, Lucinda Riley and Elizabeth Jane Howard's Cazalet Chronicles.

1902. Spindrift House, Cornwall

Edith Fairchild, deserted by her feckless husband, Benedict, eight years before, has established the thriving Spindrift artists' community by the sea and found deep and lasting love with Pascal. They have accepted that they cannot marry, but when Benedict returns unexpectedly to Spindrift House, all Edith and Pascal's secret hopes and dreams of a joyous life together are overturned.

Benedict's arrival shatters the peaceful and creative atmosphere of the close-knit community. When Edith will not allow him back into her bed, the conflict escalates and he sets in motion a chain of tragic events that reverberate down the years and threatens the happiness of the community forever....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A stunning and captivating read...full of drama, love, loss and life." (Book Literati)

"Lush, romantic and full of intrigue." (Tracy Rees)

very disappointing

This sequel had real possibilities, until it had to follow the social trend of making homosexuality a part of the book. It was a wholly unnecessary part of the story line and detracted from the overall book. I won't be choosing this author again.
