Martagon loves his work. He designs, he engineers, he orchestrates; glass is his obsession. He has long been in control of his life, his time and his emotions.
Marina, first glimpsed by chance in a café in Southern France, is flamboyant, irresistible, uncontrollable.
Their love for each other is raw and overpowering, a passion familiar perhaps to Marina but new to Martagon. The rules by which he has so carefully lived no longer apply. Secrecy, risk and ultimately betrayal threaten to overwhelm and destroy him in this extraordinary novel of love won and love surrendered, of freedom lost and painfully regained.
