About this ebook
BOOK THREE IN THE CUMBRIAN TRILOGY
'An uncommonly high talent'
Guardian
'An ambitious, panoramic novel'
Daily Telegraph
Douglas Tallentire has at last achieved what his father and grandfather before him fought for so bitterly. Educated and independent, he can carve out his own career and spread his wings. But success, freedom and happiness are more elusive than ever in the fiercely competitive Seventies. From Cumbria to the frenetic whirl of sophisticated life in New York and London, Douglas, like all the Tallentires, must come to terms with private uncertainty and pain.
