Synopsis
Hope and Jack Langley spend their honeymoon in a Cornish cottage called Widdershins and Hope falls in love with the place. To their delight, after they return home to Gloucestershire, Hope discovers she is pregnant. When new neighbors Henrik and Mandy arrive to introduce themselves, they seem reassuringly normal despite local rumors about them: they're Norwegian, they're not married, and they give crazy parties. Soon the two couples become close. But appearances can be deceptive. The challenges that eventually confront Hope are almost overwhelming, and the only place that offers refuge and peace is her beloved Widdershins. A heart-wrenching novel of the ultimate betrayal of trust.

From AudioFile
The family saga of Jack and Hope Langley begins in Widdershins cottage on the remote coast of Cornwall in 1967 and ends there 23 years later. The quaint stone house has no indoor plumbing or electricity but offers lots of peace and quiet. Those are things the couple find they really need after new neighbors Henrik and Mandy Petersen, from Norway, move into their Gloucester neighborhood and eventually pull the too trusting Langleys into a sinister morass of bad investments, marital infidelity, and attempted suicide. Judith Porter's authentic British accent plants the story firmly on the Isle and fully animates its characters. E.V. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
