The Blue Windmill

After the loss of her father and her home imaginative young Jane Rakehell launches herself into rebuilding her life and that of Ben Scarlett, the artist and amateur flier who lives in the dilapidated steam yacht The Siver Horn. The bond between them changes the lives of those around them: art dealer Christopher Lyle whose Elizabethan manor house is haunted in his mind by ghosts after the Great War and his possession of a lethal vintage aircraft, which his lover Josepha views as a death wish; Jasmine Carew, whose ambition knows no bounds, and Peter Bent, whose design firm masks extortion in France and Italy. Out of a resulting catastrophe comes a transformation for them all.
