Scandalous Risks by Susan Howatch
Susan Howatch's global bestsellers have appeared regularly since the 1970s, but a radical shift in her subject matter in the 1980s and especially the 1990s made reviewers and then academics adjust their glasses and stare hard at her pages. Howatch began to take her loyal following of gothic and family-saga readers into unexpected psychological and theological depths, while taking to an extreme, with a serious-novel format, the experiments begun in her family sagas. She also introduced to her readers a character only half-alive in Trollope, the Anglican Church.
Susan Howatch was born in the English county of Surrey. She went to America after earning a law degree, married, had a daughter, and began a career as a writer. She spent four years in the Republic of Ireland before returning to England after leaving the United States. She lived in Salisbury for a while, which inspired her Starbridge series of novels, and now she lives in London.
