Description: |
May had been the clever daughter and she had escaped the shelter of the farmhouse, The Beacon, just once for the last 27 years, to go to university. But in London she had been pursued by nameless terrors. Now she was the spinster daughter. She nursed her father after his accident and looked after her mother in her old age. |
Synopsis: |
Colin. May. Frank. Berenice. The Prime children grew up in a bleak country farm house called The Beacon. Colin and Berenice married locally. May went to university in London, but came home within a year and never left again. Only Frank, quiet, watchful Frank, got away. He left for Fleet Street and a career in journalism but its the publication of a book about his childhood that brings the fame and money he craves - and tears his family apart. |
