Love Lies a Loss - Couverture souple

With hopes as high as their flying boat coursing about the clouds, Theodora and Constantine FitzGibbon arrived in Bermuda in search of the inspiration Constantine needed to write his novel. He found it, but the idyll of their first few months was not to last. The next thirteen years were full of parties and fun and laughter with friends - shattered hopes. They travelled from Bermuda to Capri and Rome and then to England, borrowing cottages, clothes and money, always just one step ahead of the creditors, waiting for the royalty cheque that never arrived, the bestseller that never happened.
If the dream was the meetings with Norman Douglas, Graham Greene, Tennessee Williams, Henry Moore and Greta Garbo, the reality became the sullen silences or the swingeing blows when the front door closed, and Constantine's embarrassing infidelity.
