Love in Lindfield - Tapa blanda

‘‘There was supposedly one woman Charles Kempe tried to propose to. Unfortunately, the story goes she misunderstood his declaration of love, finishing his sentence for him with another meaning completely! He never had the nerve to try to ask her again. Sad, isn’t it?’ said Ellie. 
‘I think I know the type though!’ Harry replied ironically.’

As Harry researches locations for a BBC drama in rural Sussex, he begins to fall for Ellie, a spirited and independently-minded local artist. Ellie is cataloguing the former home of the largely forgotten Victorian stained glass artist Charles Eamer Kempe, at the request of its unscrupulous and domineering owner Serena Ross. The two unwittingly become embroiled not only in a tragic love triangle of their own, but also in the echoes of the life and loves of the great master himself. Little do they realise that the events that gradually engulf them are driven by a violent and ghoulish passion, born of a monstrous greed. 

Set in locations on the coast near Brighton and Kempe’s adopted home of Lindfield, the story switches between Harry’s surprising discoveries about Kempe’s previously unrecorded loves and his modern-day interactions with the dysfunctional Ross family. 

Love in Lindfield will appeal to romantics, particularly those with a love of history and literature.
