The Pool House

The story of a love forged in a matter of days, yet with the strength to last a lifetime, The Pool House is a bittersweet romance with dark and enigmatic undertones.

It's the summer of 1970 and James Hartford has moved from England to Louisiana with his parents after finishing his university degree, taking up residence in the home where his mother grew up. His curiosity taking him onto the neighboring property, he meets Saffron Acres, who's home for the summer from Berkeley. Forward, passionate and unaffected, she's unlike any woman he's ever met and they strike up a friendship which quickly develops into more.

His mother unable to settle and the immanent arrival of her father and sister casting a shadow, the fledgling relationship is soon put to the test. The machinations of Saffron's sister, Rosemary, threaten everything and when fate intervenes, there's no going back.

A gripping and emotive read, the ripples of The Pool House will stay with you long after the final word.
