Lofthouse, Jacqui A Bluethroat Morning
New York Bloomsbury USA 2000 1582340862 / 9781582340869 First American Edition; First Printing Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket
Very good, with minimal shelf wear. Pages clean, white and crisp. ; 1.47 x 9.56 x 6.34; 387 pages; A literary mystery that explores the troubled relationship between women and their writing. Alison Bliss, world-famous model and author of critically acclaimed Sweet Susan, walks into the sea on a "bluethroat morning". She becomes a greater icon in death than in life and the Norfolk village of Glaven, where she spent her final days, is soon a place of pilgrimage. Six years later her husband Harry, a schoolteacher, is still haunted by her suicide and faithful to her memory. Then he meets nineteen-year-old Helen and they begin an intense affair. But their liaison is darkened by the past. Harry is attracted by Helen's uncanny resemblance to Arabella - his ancestor's second wife - whose story inspired Alison's final work. Not much was known abut Arabella, except that she had drowned herself in the sea at Glaven, her hometown. Fascinated by her photograph, Alison had traveled to the Norfolk village only mysteriously to follow in Arabella's tragic footsteps. Propelled by their affair, Harry returns with Helen to the scene of his wife's death, determined finally to make his peace. There they meet ninety-eight-year old Ern Higham who holds the key to both Arabella dna Alison's stories.
