«Memories of the Storm», Marcia Willett

Lucy Faringdon has spent over 50 years grieving for the father who killed his best friend and then ran away with his friend's wife. Traumatized by the events of an emotional night at Bridge House on the edge of Exmoor, Lucy flees but never recovers from what she saw. A generation later, her son Jonah meets Clio, a young woman whose history is inextricably linked to his and with whom he will uncover the events that led to that passionate night that changed his mother's life forever.

Marcia Willett lays the groundwork for a tale of what a child saw and what actually occurred. She poignantly illustrates how war touches us all, whether we are away fighting or at home: lives are battered or destroyed, and loves and loyalties are put to the test.

You will meet Hester, the aging matriarch of Bridge House, soon to be turned out by the two relatives who want the money from the sale of the house, her long-secret love Blaise, now a retired priest, and be propelled into that long ago night during World War II when Edward, Eleanor, and Michael meet in an explosive triangle with long-lasting repercussions.

At times a bit overly dramatic and with characters not quite as appealing as those of her previous books, this is still an enjoyable tale for fans of Marcia Willett and her atmospheric English stories.
