The Hawk Dancer by Diana Saville
Claire and James married young - too young - and for twenty years Claire has been loved, protected by and completely subservient to her husband. She has therefore tolerated his sexual escapades. But when she offers to keep a hawk for a friend's son, and is drawn into the creature's training, she begins to understand the nature of predators - both hawk and husband. Then Claire meets an engaging naturalist, and begins an affair herself. And the predator is about to become the prey...
A sensitive, beautifully descriptive story.. The imagery is beautifully crafted and one is left with a feeling of the pace and freedom of the coutnry side which transcends the mundane irritations of a fractured marriage. A lovely read' - Sarah Broadhurst, ?
Diana Saville went to Oxford and worked as a literary agent before moving to the West of England with her husband. She designs gardens and has written several gardening books, as well as two novels.
