Fiction by Clare Leslie Hall
In 1968, Beth and her husband Frank are living in tenuous peace on their farm in England, having only partially recovered from the death of their nine-year-old son Bobby a couple of years ago. But then Beth’s first love Gabriel Wolfe returns to town, bringing his own son Leo who reminds Beth strongly of her lost Bobby.
Beth is first drawn by the motherless boy, but it soon becomes clear that she never stopped loving Gabriel. In the clash between Beth’s love for two men, tragedy ensues, and the story slips back and forth into the past and present, and on to a murder trial in 1969. But which of the men is dead, and who is the killer?
This was an interesting historical novel with good characters.
