| Plot Summary of Camera Obscura |
|---|
"During one hot summer in the Cotswolds, several middle aged men have affairs with a young woman called Dawn. Dawn toys with them, encouraging first one, then another. While artist Madge is prepairing for an exhibition, her husband is caught up in a dangerous game of lust and secrets that will eventually lead to death.
An imaginative and richly described novel that captures both the calm and the storm that follows it."
Bryn Colvin, Resident Scholar
