The Iron Façade
Buy the book from:
Successful novelist Prudence Dudley approaches breakdown under the pressure of childhood rejection and a recent emotional crisis. She retreats with her dependable Aunt Maggie to a rented Lake District cottage, where the abrasive David McVeigh is revealed as both their landlord and the owner of the failing Lowtherbeck estate.
Pru gradually recognises that David’s hostility conceals injuries as deep as her own. Drawn into the tensions of his household, she finds that involvement in other people’s unresolved wrongs may offer a route out of isolation, but only if she can distinguish compassion from another form of self-sacrifice.
This book has also been published under the title Evil at Roger’s Cross.
