Dying Flames (2005)
“He had taken Christa and Adam to see Kath Moores, whom they both liked. He left them in Bidford and then drove on to Upper Melrose. To the old Saxon church beloved of architectural historians where he had first met, properly met, Peggy Somers, and to the churchyard where they had first made love, and perhaps made Terry Telford. Back to the beginnings of that brief, unremarkable affair that seemed, like so many things unremarkable in themselves, to have had such strange and long-lasting conseque...nces.He had already been round the church, all those years ago, noting all the features that the books had told him of, and all the changes that the more sophisticated medieval builders had made centuries after it was built. Sometimes he made jottings in a little architectural notebook that he kept with him on his excursions. They had had special hours at school with the headmaster—hours that had ranged over many subjects but often came back to English architecture, one of the head’s pet subjects, and the one closest to his heart.Eventually, in that summer of 1979, Graham had gone out into the sunlight, and that was when he saw Peggy.MoreLess
