The voyage

the long version

"Adventure dies in domesticity." So muses David Lyon, one of the stars of Canada's foreign service, as he prepares to accept the crowning moment of his career: his elevation to foreign minister. But half a world away, in Finland, the famous model Francesca D'Anielli is missing and presumed dead. What links these two so different individuals is a passionate love affair that reaches back into their youth, when, as a young diplomat, David first met the beautiful Francesca. Unbeknownst to his wife and children, and to the rest of the diplomatic corps, David had led a double life that now threatens to explode. Once Francesca's personal effects are discovered, David knows, their secret love will come out - endangering both his marriage and his career. . Told with relentless drive from both David's and Francesca's fascinating points of view, THE VOYAGE is a beautifully told story of love and its unforeseen consequences.
