Golden Summer

the long version

Love and mystery resolved in the enchanting setting of the West of Ireland. Jean had loved Adrian with the happy simplicity of a child. Four weeks before their wedding day, he was lost to her, and in circumstances which she did not understand. If the answers lay anywhere, they lay in the West of Ireland, in that enchanting country to which he had been so devoted. She went there expecting nothing beyond finding out what had really happened; only then, she felt, could she accept the situation. By the end of the summer, a new future opened up. None of it had been easy, but now she could put the past behind her. Somehow, she had reached the point where she could truthfully say she would not have changed places with anyone in the world.
