Damage limitation

by Sandra Davies

Five Irish brothers with four wives and ten children between them.
The resultant complexity of family relationships is further complicated by being necessarily intertwined with the family business.
When the reverberations of past relationships - mistaken and deliberate - resurface, the need to limit damage becomes urgent and overwhelming. How far should wives be allowed their head? How much restrained? And by how much can one deviate from one's own moral compass?

About the author

Artist, printmaker, family historian and writer, born in Essex, lived in Teesside for decades.

Easing myself from a decade of printmaking, I began writing fiction in 2010. As well as 'Edge', the illustrated 'One that got away' spawned three novels written for my own entertainment.
Thereafter I further challenged myself and began a tale of murder. Luke Darbyshere and Baz Rose seized hold of my imagination. I wanted to know more about their occasionally toxic relationships with each other, and with the women they loved. Murder became the background against which were enacted the triangles of their lives and their affairs and to date they have featured in four novels: 'Step so Grave', 'Longest shadows reach'. 'Commissiom & Omission' and 'Drink with a dead man' All available from https://www.blurb.co.uk/user/SandraDa...
