Gervase and Ophelia Lloyd-Beauchamp inherit Farthing Abbey, a long
neglected estate in a mellow English setting, and with it a chance
to redeem a flawed marriage. But the old pile must pay its way. A
curious crew of media folk comes down for the weekend: Events take
a startling turn. An erotic encounter in the Temple of Venus, a
broody scene in the Chinese Boudoir. A drunken repast in the Privy
Parlour, fights in the Long Gallery, a body left for dead in the
Orangery. Tragedy lurks beneath the waters of the Scenic Lake. Come
morning, an artist finds his muse and a lady fondly imagines her
true love. But a crime from the distant past reaches out to claim
those living in the present. The fate of a sensitive young wife
with a brutish older husband unravels in a world where individuals
bow to blind forces pulling unseen strings behind the stones of
Farthing Abbey. With its mix of comic and tragic, real and surreal,
this novel has the pace of a modern film or TV drama unfolding
before your eyes.
