A LIFETIME BURNING

A LIFETIME BURNING

A complex family drama spanning the 20th century from the author of Kindle bestseller, HOUSE OF SILENCE.

~~~

Flora Dunbar is dead, but it isn't over.

Looking back over a turbulent lifetime, Flora observes her grieving family and the four men who loved her. She recalls an eccentric childhood lived in the shadow of her musical twin, Rory; early marriage to Hugh, a handsome clergyman twice her age; motherhood, which brought her Theo, the son she couldn't love; middle age, when she finally found brief happiness in a scandalous affair with her nephew, Colin.

And now Flora is dead. But how did she die? And who was to blame?

"There has been much love in this family - some would say too much - and not a little hate. If you asked my sister-in-law, Grace why she hated me, she'd say it was because I seduced her precious firstborn, then tossed him on to the sizeable scrap heap marked 'Flora's ex-lovers'. But she'd be lying. That isn't why Grace hated me. Ask my brother Rory."
