2000s: Sometimes your first love won’t let you go…
When Lou Wandsworth ran away to France with her teacher Mike Hughes, she thought he was the love of her life. But Mike wasn’t what he seemed and he left her life in pieces.
Now 32, Lou discovers that he is involved with teenager Chloe Meadows. Determined to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself, she returns home to confront him for the damage he’s caused.
But Mike is a predator of the worst kind, and as Lou tries to bring him to justice, it’s clear that she could once again become his prey…
some of the novel is set in Malvern in Worcestershire where Lou returns to some strange memories:
” I’ve spent the last month trying to ready myself for this moment but nothing could have prepared me for the cloud of memories that descend as I catch sight of the LMalvern nHills, curving like a dragon’s back…”
Two more towns which is mentioned in the novel but they only form a background to a part of the plot.
There is a major subplot where one girl heads to France with Mike and this becomes the story that the rest of the story comes from. They visit Rouen but mostly see the inside of hotel rooms. The setting here is confusion, a man taking advantage of an infatuated school girl and an escape from her parents and her humdrum life that soon turns out to be anything but.
