(2023)(A book in the Autumn Daffodils series)
An omnibus of novels by Peter Turnham
From the best selling author of “None Stood Taller”.
A retrospective look back on life that will make you laugh and cry in equal measure.
Five extraordinary people have only one thing in common. They are united by the guilt, shame or sorrow that their past decisions have left in their wake. Having retired early in order to escape their past, they find themselves reliving the very past they came to the 'Village' to forget. As compelling as each of the characters proves to be, it's Charlie's heart wrenching account of his love affair with Joanna which ultimately proves to have repercussions for the whole group.
Tragic one moment and emotionally uplifting the next. "Charlie's Story" will make you laugh and cry in equal measure. The story gathers pace like a roller-coaster leading inexorably towards a dramatic final chapter where in one heart stopping moment Charlie's life is changed forever. The final chapter will leave you utterly breathless but it's not the end, this is merely the beginning for "Joanna's Story".
Joanna has had no contact with Charlie for the past thirty years. She lives in America where she has become the self-styled 'Queen of Washington' while he is content with his quiet life in England. When Joanna dramatically re-enters Charlie's life she brings with her a thirty year old secret of which he knew nothing. His life is turned inexorably upside down, as are those of his friends. Charlie and Joanna have only two things in common, their shared secret, and their undying love for each other. Neither of them has ever been complete without the other, but separate lives and an ocean continue to stand between them.
