High Noon: A New Sequel to 'three Weeks
The grief-haunted sequel to Glyn's infamous "Three Weeks" finds Sir Paul Verdayne in Switzerland, a man torn between the ghosts of passion and the uncertain promise of a new love. The woman who once taught him desire is gone, and now he walks alone through Alpine landscapes that witnessed their affair, seeking something he cannot name. But resolution eludes him: Isabella Waring waits in the wings, offering domestic comfort, while the mysterious Comtesse de Boistelle and the guileless American Daisy Livingstone appear like mirrors reflecting different possible futures. Glyn, who knew exactly how to provoke her Edwardian readers, explores what happens after the affair ends, when the scandal has faded and a man must simply live with the weight of having been truly, dangerously in love. This is a quiet, aching book about whether we can ever return to ordinary life after experiencing something extraordinary.
