Inhaltsangabe

From, Elizabeth Jane Howard, the bestselling author of the Cazalet Chronicles, Falling is a haunting portrait of romantic manipulation.

'A novel which, although full of subtle touches, is as unputdownable as any thriller' – The Times

Harry Kent is a sensitive man in late middle age, a reader and a thinker, without means perhaps but not without charm.

Daisy has recovered from her unhappy past by learning to be self-sufficient, and viewing trust as a weakness. But there is still a part of her that yearns to be cared for once more.

It is this part that Henry sees, and with dedicated and calculated patience he works at her defences. So despite all attempts to resist his attentions, Daisy finds herself falling under Henry's spell . . .

'Her talent seemed so effervescent, so unstoppable, that there was no predicting where it might take her' – Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Meet Henry: a man dedicated to love and all it entails. He knows a lot about women, if only from the books he's read; but at sixty, he's found himself alone.

Then there's Daisy: recovering from an unhappy past and determined to be self-sufficient, she's learnt that trust only leads to weakness. But there will always be a part of her that yearns to be cared for once more.

It is this part that Henry sees, and with calculated patience he works at her defences. It will take everything Daisy has to resist him, and stop herself from falling under his spell . . .
