Riding, Volume 2

The electric conclusion of the story begun in volume one. England, 1931. Cordelia Lioht is poised to leave for America, seeking a high-risk cure for her mother's mysterious illness. Gray Riding anxiously awaits the return of her letters as he avoids confrontation with Morgan Wilberforce and the past they shared. John Grieves seeks relief from intolerable frustration, unable to rescue Cordelia's mother, the love of his life; battered by the past, which accuses him in flash photographs, scourging him for his failures. As the year grows old and the days grow short, is the world as they know it about to pass away? And what of the world as it is known to itself?
