The Man at the Gate by Hilary Newman

The Man at the Gate by Hilary Newman

Marthe returns to her Father's home from which she fled in 1944. It is the Autumn of 2000, a new Millennium. She hopes to make a new life in South West France and embarks on a restoration project in the long neglected garden, assisted by a young English landscaper who has recently settled in Toulouse.

But her father's past is not forgotten and she becomes the victim of a vendetta of increasing violence.

This book considers the issues of vengeance, forgiveness and memory against the background of rural French society.
