| | When
Amadea Fontaine wakes upon her thirtieth birthday to find a naked man in the spare
room of her immaculate flat, she is horrified, not least because — suffering from
her first ever hangover — she cannot remember who he is, but, it subsequently
emerges, nor can he.
Desperate to find out how this extremely handsome
and engaging man ended up in her home, Amadea enlists the help of her neighbour,
Doctor Rob Greer. At first, following efforts to help Amadea's naked guest, whom
she christens "Edward No Name," regain his memory, it is decided that the best
thing for him is to be hospitalized. However, when it looks as if Edward is about
to become the victim of medical experiments, they are forced to act, and spirit
him away from hospital and down to her mother's remote farmhouse in Somerset.
Florence Fontaine lives simply, off the land, without television or radio,
and Edward feels as if he has awoken in Paradise. As the summer sun starts to
climb into the heavens, and birdsong fills the air, his memory starts to return.
But, it is only when the local country estate holds a Fête champêtre, to which
everyone is invited to appear in eighteenth-century costume, that Edward's true
identity — and his past — are revealed. |

1913: Kitty and Lady Partita are best friends despite vastly different backgrounds.
Partita has invited her friend, Kitty to stay at her ancestral home, Borders Castle.
The grandeur of Partita's family seat is in stark contrast to Kitty's home in
London where she and her mother, Violet, struggle to maintain appearances despite
Kitty's father gambling away the family money. Kitty is introduced to the aristocracy
— a world she finds fascinatingly decorative and theatrical. She is enthralled
by it, and desperately wants to be part of this way of life that is so far removed
from the genteel poverty in which she and her mother are forced to exist.
But
war breaks out, not only irrevocably changing society, but also the lives of these
two beautiful young women. The headstrong Partita and down-to-earth Kitty become
nurses, caring selflessly for men who have been horrifically injured in the trenches.
In
Distant Fields is about the mothers and daughters, sisters and wives
who are left holding things together on the home front and caring for their men.
But, more importantly, it's about the nature of female friendship. |

Marriage 2007

| | Sunny's
mundane country life is changed over night when handsome, stylish Gray's Bentley
breaks down outside her parents' cottage in Rushington. It seems that he may have
fallen in love with her. Although Sunny herself remains unconvinced, her best
friend Arietta believes that Sunny is soon to be set on the road to wealth and
happiness. Shortly after meeting Gray for the second time at a local ball, Sunny
is invited out by his close friend, the beautiful socialite, Leandra Fortescue,
who tells her over lunch that Gray wants to marry her if she will accept certain
conditions. Sunny does accept, even as Arietta is leaving Rushington to work in
London. Sunny soon joins Arietta at her cheerfully chaotic lodgings. It is here
that she realises that she can find the sort of contentment that has eluded sophisticates
such as Gray and Leandra. Here too she meets Hart and, despite being engaged to
Gray, falls in love with him, just as Arietta has fallen for his friend, jazz-playing
painter, Sam. By chance Arietta comes into a secret about Gray, but is afraid
to tell Sunny, and yet not to tell her might ruin her future. |
