The Quilt by Rochelle Carlton
Requirements: Epub reader, 446 Kb
Overview: From the dramatic high country of New Zealand, to the jewel like islands in the Hauraki Gulf, “The Quilt” takes you on the journey of the Clarke family.
Is it possible to have it all?
Silence fills the room when attorney Joanne Kyle enters. She smiles warmly but the warmth does not reach her slate grey eyes. They remain focused on senior partner, Kelvin Wade. He looks back impassively and his tongue revolves around the perimeter of his cracked lips. Joanne shudders in disgust, she distracts herself by securing an escaped lock of honey blonde hair into a severe bun.
She allows her mind to travel to the studio that she shares with artist fiancé Stephen. The air would be thick with salt by the evening. She imagines gulls soaring on the thermal waves and the crisp, cool sand massaging the tenseness from the soles of her bare feet.
Beneath the elegant exterior Joanne is ambitious, has a no nonsense reputation and a fast growing client base.
In just one day deceit and tragedy will unravel Joanne’s almost perfect world. It will force her to question everything she values; it will undermine her driving ambition, destroy her relationships and ultimately force her to re-evaluate what is most important in life.
Paul Clarke’s arctic blue eyes regard his father across the expanse of the sturdy oak table. Options? Lines in a small plastic cylinder took away the option of studying Veterinary Science. They took away the opportunity for him to leave the families iconic, New Zealand high country station, Twin Pines. He absentmindedly rubs the jig saw of scars that cross over his muscular forearms. Paul now faces teenage fatherhood, and marriage to a volatile woman he does not love.
His mother Jean studies the handsome faces of the two most important men in her life. She glances sadly at the soft mass of “The Quilt” and the tiny squares secured with intricate stitches to form the fabric diary of their lives.
The Quilt is a riveting story about a family haunted by the unanswered questions left by their violent past. It is about friendship and relationships, the need for closure, the struggle to develop harsh New Zealand high country land and an unprecedented attraction born through horrific circumstances.
Nothing is normal about their situation; their meeting could not have come at a worse time. Can love survive when it begins with no soft place to fall? If so will it be enough to heal and change the course of their lives?
