Abraham's Legacy
Andre Deutsch, 1963
out of print
“I wonder if he drowned himself deliberately…”
When Abraham drowns while swimming off the coast of Italy his sister Sara is left uncovering layer after layer of deceit, pain and suspicion.
I love Italy, and wrote my first novel there while in Rome on a research fellowship. I was delighted when a reviewer said: it is rare to find a writer who can conjure up the atmosphere of a place with such skill.
