There Is Nothing Strange

Some love falters, some fails, and some love finds a way to survive. A strange love triangle turns and twists and tangles as three people try to find their way with and through one another. Laura and Jeremy marry, and take their first hopeful — and desperate — steps together; but always there is Henry, bound to them both by love and guilt and a terrible accident years before. The story whirls like the wedding dance, until at last the music stops, and they find the truth beyond the old songs and ‘the chants of night’. With lyrical prose and a hypnotic rhythm, Susan Pepper Robbins creates a story both disturbing and beautiful.
