Look Back To Love

Springtime in France, cruel in its beauty, tore them apart. Six people on a vacation in the hopes of redeeming their seemingly lost lives: Todd Phelps--the American newspaper columnist, whose drive for ambition has left him frustrated and discontent; Fran Phelps--his wife, who feels that having been married to Todd did not fulfill her dreams of marriage and family; Edward Allen--the aspiring writer, who believed that his detachment from humanity was because he is not capable of feeling love; Janet Carew--the mysterious Englishwoman, forever seeking what she believes to be love and somehow finding it; Henry Carew--her grotesque husband, outwardly appearing to enjoy his wife's infidelity; and--Philip Carew--the lonely misguided son, who had a reason for his bizarre attachment to his mother. It drew Todd into a vortex of destructive, wanton passion--for another woman. It gave Fran a glimpse of the forbidden and terrible paths of desire. Then France, mistress of the world, taught them the deeper of meaning of love. Their relationships intertwine, and they will have to embrace these demons in order to survive! A novel poignant and searing, by Vin Packer, author of Spring Fire and Dark Intruders. This book was originally published as a Gold Medal paperback original in 1953.
