Seven For A Secret

US: Corgi, 1997. Very Good. It was Heather's silver wedding anniversary. But this important milestone d id not mark her marriage to Tom, her often-absent airline pilot husband and father of their two teenage children. It was for her first marriage - a wi ldly romantic, secret affair, when she and Iain - twelve years older than h er and the heir to a Scottish baronetcy - had eloped immediately after her final school speech day. She was just sixteen at the time. The marriage had not lasted twenty-five weeks, let alone years, and it was, as her mother f irmly announced, As If It Never Happened. But secrets have a habit of comin g out, and when a film crew arrived in the attractive Thamesside village wh ere Heather and Tom lived, Heather was horrified to find her ex-husband amo ngst them. As Heather and Iain met again, many secrets jostled to be reveal ed, including Tom's own highly secret life. Heather, her daughter Kate - th e same age as Heather was when she embarked upon her disastrous elopement - and her mother Delia all had to reveal things which they never thought wou ld need to be revealed, and their peaceful Oxfordshire village community bu zzed with speculation and scandal.
