The Beacon Singer - Volume 3

Catherine E. Chapman

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Jane Lake, disillusioned with her career as a jazz singer and frustrated in love, returned home from London to a small town in the English Lake District. Reacquainting herself with her circle of women-friends (Ruth, Sarah and Margaret), it became apparent that their lives of rural isolation were not as tranquil as they first appeared: Sarah's long-term partner, Philip, was embroiled in a romantic relationship with Margaret's daughter, Stella. Jane's rehabilitation has become protracted. With the realisations that those about her are active in the small town's romantic bohemian scene and that most of the men she's interested in prefer her brother, David, Jane's sense of dejection has intensified. Increasingly, she has become reliant upon the bottle in order to maintain a rational view of things. Long-standing friendships cannot be maintained without rivalry and resentment playing their part. As the muddle involving the key-players in Jane's life begins to resolve, she herself teeters between personal jeopardy and a burgeoning self-knowledge that might permit the prospect of love… Duration - 3h 16m.
