Triangles in Squares
“To an outsider it probably looked like any other London square, but it wasn’t…”
It is March 1987, and Lady Fay Stanhope, the undisputed monarch of Garrick Square, continues to socially engineer. As a result of her energies, the Square has become an elite and tight-knit community of creatives, professionals and eccentrics that Lady Fay describes as ‘Media People.’ One of her triumphs is Euan Mackay, now a successful writer working at the BBC. It is seven years since Celia’s tragic death and Euan has not moved on, that is until her daughter unexpectedly re-enters his world and proceeds to turn it upside down. No longer the gawky teenager of Parallel Lines, Natasha is now an attractive and independent woman and she’s looking for a place to live. She’s not the only one. Lady Fay has an eye on an ideal candidate for Number 39, but the Reverend Gerald Masterson, darling of Religious Programming at the BBC, may not be quite as angelic as he seems. Thus begins a summer of passion, intrigue and betrayal, with allegiances forming and falling away against the backdrop of the Square’s elaborate social calendar, until Natasha must make a choice that will change her life forever.

I enjoyed the first book because one had some sympathy with Celia but this one is full of characters hard to have any empathy for at all. This makes the whole book a parade of unconvincing and ridiculous decisions. This isn't helped by the continuous switching of the angle character, sometimes within a single paragraph. One ends not really caring what happens to who or by whom. So sad.
