A devoted family man walks a self-destructive path in this historical novel about the Church of England from the New York Timesbestselling author.
1942. Neville Aysgarth is a priest enjoying a successful career in the Church of England. As an archdeacon, he is the right-hand man of the Bishop of Starbridge. He returns to a comfortable home at the end of each day, greeted by his loving wife and family-rewards won in the game of life-and Aysgarth looks forward to a rosy future.
Then he meets Dido Tallent. Her celebrity, lifestyle, and powerful personality combine to enthrall him, but eventually he realizes-too late-that Tallent is no dream come true, his ultimate prize, but a nightmare.
Fighting to avoid a breakdown of his successful life, Aysgarth is led on a dramatic journey through his troubled past as he tries to find hope for the future.
