Charlotte's End

Historical fictionRaymond de Villiers is a wealthy English aristocrat with a young adoring wife. His first wife, the beautiful, captivating Charlotte, died in mysterious circumstances. Their old, historic country house, Lanverndel, on the Devon coast is suddenly destroyed by fire. Lanverndel and Charlotte’s shadow haunt the de Villiers constantly as dramatic events in their lives take them through the French Riviera, the outbreak of the Second World War, the Battle of the Atlantic to wartime England. But the real essence of the novel is the steadfast love that the young Mrs. de Villiers has for her much older husband, even after she has heard from him his chilling confession; and her sensitive transformation from a young, callow girl to a strong, self reliant woman, to save herself and the man she loves from the shadows of evil. A brilliant work of literary fiction, woven together with tragedy and romance, mystery and adventure, the Second World War, the secrets of an old mansion and the lurking shadow of a dead woman.More information at : at Amazon, Flipcart, and Kindle
