Description
Claire and James married young - too young - and for twenty years Claire has been loved, protected by and completely subservient to her husband. She has therefore tolerated his sexual escapades. But when she offers to keep a hawk for a friend's son, and is drawn into the creature's training, she begins to understand the nature of predators - both hawk and husband. Then Claire meets an engaging naturalist, and begins an affair herself. And the predator is about to become the prey...
Reviews / Votes
A sensitive, beautifully descriptive story ... The imagery is beautifully crafted and one is left with a feeling of the pace and freedom of the coutnry side which transcends the mundane irritations of a fractured marriage. A lovely read' - Sarah Broadhurst, ?More details
