Photographer's Wife
About This Novel
A new masterpiece from the author of the British bestseller "Female Riders' Guide to Kashgar Cycling", which uses the power of art to face the most shocking pain of war and colonization; "Atonement" is a woman's own voice, in which she searches for herself in the whirlpool of love, friendship and family affection. "The Photographer's Wife" is the second novel by Susan Joyson, author of the British bestseller "The Female Rider's Guide to Kashgar Cycling". As a historical novel, "The Photographer's Wife" tells a story about love and betrayal that took place between the two world wars. From the holy city of Jerusalem to a seaside town in southern England, the author leads readers to follow the heroine as she travels between the past and reality. In 1937, the peaceful life of artist Prudence Miller was broken by the visit of a mysterious stranger, forcing her to uncover the past that was sealed in the ruins of Jerusalem. Time went back to 1920, when 11-year-old Prue followed her father's footsteps and came to Jerusalem. Her father, Charles Ashton, served as a British urban planning consultant in Jerusalem and hired former British Air Force pilot Captain William Harrington to assist with aerial photography. William, on the other hand, loves Eleanora, the wife of an Arab photographer, and wants to save her from this "wrong" marriage. But both William and Prue were involved in a local conspiracy to subvert British rule. Broken families and long-lasting war scars, love, family and friendship, all the secrets have nowhere to hide, but at this moment, a new war seems to be coming...
