  • Multi-level Read4

    Linda Acaster This is an ambiguous exploration of actions and consequences through characters who profess truth to each other while lying to themselves. Lost in the glamour of his glamour photography and the willing women he exploits and who exploit him, Leighton despises those who buy his product to satiate, or fuel, their lust. Faith believes herself untouched by the sexual rapacity around her because she interprets in an academic black and white, draping her frankness in the colours of naïve honesty, yet willing, at the last, to control as she was controlled. rn Alternating first person viewpoint is difficult to accomplish, but Leighton's tone and photographer's eye for the natural curves of his human subjects is as artistic as that for the rugged Dales landscape that presses in, claustrophobic while seeming benign, towards Longhouse and its inhabitants. rn Read for its depth, it will leave the reader considering afresh blinkered human frailties. rn by Linda Acaster

    karen wolfe This is the story of a triumphant human spirit. Heroine Faith's rite of passage from horrific neglect and abuse to fulfilment and true love is an inspiring one. Stuart Aken's novel, set in the summer of 1976, simmers with heat, decadence and sexuality,all of which Faith transcends to become her own woman. I loved the Yorkshire Dales setting, and I was rooting for Faith all the way to her well-deserved happy ending. More power to Stuart's pen!! by karen wolfe
