Web of Lies

The awakening of a young child's distrust in her beloved father and the turmoil of a wife betrayed. This story of suspicion, intrigue and deception takes place in a quiet suburb of North London in 1948, when the world still seemed young, even with a second world war just behind them. Max behaves as a single man without thought of the effects of his actions on his wife, Eleanor, or his daughter, Frances. Always a man of action, from his army service in bomb disposal in India through to raids in France during the war, Max's actions now take place in liaisons with other women. His life is woven through the shadier parts of London, where deals are done and silence is preferred.
