LIFELONGING is a fast-paced novel with a narrative where destructive forces threaten the lives of numerous people. At the centre are Thom and Ariadne searching for one another and a destructive truth that makes their world increasingly turbulent and dangerous. From the heat of the Libyan desert to Oxford on a chilly autumnal evening, and culminating in Crete, the action see-saws between romance and tragedy, intimacy and exploitation, murder, hope and despair.
Topical and contemporary, the story has at its centre, violence, malevolence, greed, murder, rivalry, and people-trafficking. In opposition are love and hope, all set against the backdrop of the search for the modern Holy Grail, a drug that prolongs human life.
Theseus' struggle with the Minotaur in Homer's labyrinth thousands of years ago has its modern parallel in LIFELONGING and a quest that unlocks terrifying consequences driven by dark human desires.
At its core LIFELONGING is a poignantly personal novel that arouses numerous emotions in the reader; an exciting journey and an intimate examination of love, hate and loss, a saga that draws in the reader from the start.
