About this audiobook

A captivating novel of love and intrigue.

Everyone expected Isabella Charteris, beautiful, sheltered and aristocratic, to marry her cousin Rupert when he came back from the War. It would have been such a suitable marriage. How strange then that John Gabriel, an ambitious and ruthless war hero, should appear in her life. For Isabella, the price of love would mean abandoning her dreams of home and happiness forever. For Gabriel, it would destroy his chance of a career and all his ambitions…

Famous for her ingenious crime books and plays, Agatha Christie also wrote about crimes of the heart, six bittersweet and very personal novels, as compelling and memorable as the best of her work.

    First of all, I was able to take the tag "romance" off of this book. I was afraid it was one by the description on the back, but I don't think it is quite. Not exactly sure the tag "suspense" works, either. It is the story of a man who has been badly injured in a car accident, and his observations of the people and events around him during the aftermath when he wasn't sure he wanted to live. It attempts to convey that the choices we make will lead us down unforeseen paths, but is a bit clunky.The observations of county politics of post WWII England were interesting up to a point, but tended to go on. Some of the characters were well drawn, others just flat. There was much speculation on people's motivations and emotions. Too much in my opinion. A lot of the time it seemed like an author practicing to see what felt right for them to say or do. Still, the story itself wasn't terrible and I don't regret reading it, if only for some of the insights into post war England.
