Description
Ever since they were children together in Ireland, Giles had been Marny's dear friend. Now, at seventeen, she loved him with a woman's love, and he-a brilliant young artist with worlds at his feet to conquer-knew that without her he was only half alive. Then, suddenly, everything changed. Giles fell in love with and married the exquistely beautiful Catherine, who was determined to mould him into her kind of success, and turn him into a fashionable portrait painter, and who had little patience with Marny and her coltish ways. But had anything really changed between Giles and Marny? Can a love which is based on the one hand selfless devotion, and on the other utter dependence, change, whatever the outward circumstances? Giles was bound by law to Catherine. But to Marny he was bound by a gossamer thread that was as strong as steel.
