Synopsis

Belva Plain breaks startling new ground in her latest spellbinding novel of an American dynasty shattered by secrets and nearly destroyed by greed Reaching into the darkest heart of the most proper and prominent of families, she weaves a fascinating tale of compulsion and revenge.

The Carousel

It couldn't happen to a family like the Greys. Surely, Dan and Sally's troubled five-year-old daughter could not have been molested as the doctor claimed. She was too well guarded for anything like that to happen. But she was destroying their home and their lives.

Meanwhile, the family business was tottering, threatened by dissent from within. The pressure was on to sell family land to foreign investors, a move that divided the Greys and threatened Grey's Foods and the small city in upstate New York it fed.

Oliver Grey, the handsome silver-haired patriarch, bowed out, leaving the business to his two sons, Ian and Clive, and Dan, the orphaned nephew he reared as his own. Ian was ready to sell to the highest bidder so he could buy off his mistress and save the marriage he can't afford to lose. Clive, the brilliant misfit, gave his life to the business until he, too, met a woman. But Amanda, Dan's estranged sister, had the knowledge, the power, and the motive to destroy them all: an unspeakable secret that would link her to a little girl and a silver carousel.

In The Carousel, Belva Plain, examining a conspiracy of silence among the wealthiest, most charitable and civilized of families, has created a story that is suspenseful, heartbreaking and disturbing. And it makes for an extraordinary listening experience..
