Trust by Margaret Leroy
A very contemporary love story as disturbing as it is absorbing, from a vibrant new voice in women’s fiction. When Chloe meets fellow social worker Dan she is instantly and powerfully attracted to him. She is divorced, he is still married, but they begin an affair that quickly becomes intense – both sexually and emotionally. Chloe’s children accept Dan without hesitation and when Dan leaves his wife, Helena, and moves into a bachelor flat it seems only a matter of time before a new family unit is formed. But with brutal suddenness their lives fall apart when Dan is arrested on suspicion of abusing a child in his care. Trust vividly charts the eroticism of the start of an affair, its slow, painful collapse under the most intense emotional pressure possible, and two people’s struggle to find new ground between themMargaret Leroy studied music at St Hilda’s College, Oxford, and social work at Leicester University, after which she spent fifteen years as a social worker and counsellor.
