The Beacon Singer - Volume 2
เกี่ยวกับหนังสือเสียงเล่มนี้
Jane Lake, disillusioned with her career as a jazz singer and frustrated in love, has returned home from London to a small town in the English Lake District. Reacquainting herself with her circle of women-friends (Ruth, Sarah and Margaret), it has become apparent that their lives of rural isolation are not as tranquil as they first appeared: Sarah's long-term partner, Philip, is in a romantic relationship with Margaret's daughter, Stella.
Jane intended her stay in the family home to be short. Her rehabilitation, however, has become protracted. Those about her -including her mother- are embroiled in the small town's romantic bohemian scene and Jane's sense of dejection intensifies with the realisation that most of the men she's interested in prefer her younger brother, David. Increasingly, she relies upon the bottle in order to maintain a rational view of things.
Long-standing friendships cannot be maintained without rivalry and resentment playing their part. As the plot thickens involving the various key-players in Jane's life, she herself teeters between personal jeopardy and a burgeoning self-knowledge that might just permit the prospect of love…
