Escape from London and its attendant distractions, should have proved just the tonic to repair Michael’s wounded relationship with his wife Lucia, but best-laid plans soon turn rotten with the arrival of the community’s Head Gardener. As events take on an increasingly menacing nature, Michael’s relationship with Lord Palmer’s daughter, the spirit of the local landscape, Magda, threatens to disturb the strange but delicate balance between residents of the estate and nature. With a keen sense of the horror that lurks within all of us, and a remarkably subtle touch, this elegiac novel works towards an inevitable, terrible denouement.

A hymn to the natural world and the virtues of time which will beguile and again disturb the reader in equal measure, That We Might Never Meet Again is a novel of lust, betrayal, deception and violence by a writer of rare imaginative talents.
