About this book

Young Emmanuel is the third book in the Gollantz Saga, following the lives and loves of the Gollantz family over several generations. History is fated to repeat itself as Max and Angela's sons are driven apart by ambition, lies, and rivalry for the love of the same woman. Golden boy Julian Gollantz is set for great things. A glittering career in politics can be his - but only through dishonesty and ruthlessness. Young Emmanuel Gollantz follows in the footsteps of his forefathers, valuing honour and family above personal happiness. But will this mean sacrificing everything he holds dear? Viva is the beautiful young woman whose love is at the centre of the battle between two brothers.

Tim Pears

Ezra and Sheena Pepin live in Blenheim Orchard in North Oxford with their three children: fourteen-year-old Blaise, entering the storm-world of adolescence. Hector, eleven and precociously clever, and sweet Louie, three years old and the family tyrant. Ezra, a disaffected employee at Isis Water, has abandoned his calling as an anthropologist; Sheena has inadvertently found hers running a travel company. They are like everyone else: over-worked, worried about the children, trying to steer their marriage on an even keel. But change comes knocking at the Pepins' door - and the family will never be quite the same again.
