Book
A Scandal at Christmas
Fifteen-year-old Gail Blenheim is devoted to her father, Harry, and sees clearly how unhappy he has become. Trapped in a near-loveless marriage and under the influence of his domineering father-in-law, Harry has grown increasingly isolated despite the affection he shares with his daughter.
At a Christmas party, Harry allows his loneliness to overcome his judgement and sparks a scandal whose consequences threaten his home, reputation and relationship with Gail. While the adults around her judge and manoeuvre, Gail refuses to abandon the father she loves, forcing the family to confront loyalty, shame and the damage caused by a single reckless decision.
