Fiction

France, 1959. Edouard de Chavigny, international jeweller, is driving through Paris when he sees the woman who will change his life. Standing outside the tiny, ancient church of St-Julien is Helene Craig, the mysterious young Englishwoman who will intrigue, enthral and ultimately obsess him - for however much Edouard becomes captivated, it is not enough to stop Helene from disappearing. An epic of modern storytelling, Destiny is a novel that begins many years before his first meeting, its strands stretching out across the decades and criss-crossing the continents. It is the story of a man consumed by his passion, and a woman with a secret past she is determined to confront.
