In the Light of Men - Hardcover

by Sam Desmond (Author)

Bel?n Aguilar has spent her life dreaming of British lineage and family prestige.

In marrying Patrick Stratton-Delaney, she moves to his idyllic town of Carel, where she becomes a reporter for the local paper.

Carel, located on the south shore of Long Island and a 90-minute train ride to Manhattan, becomes the almost-English-countryside home of Bel?n's dreams.

Euphoric over painting and highlighting the tight-knit community's stories, Bel?n internally struggles with her self-deprecation and machinations of being sub-par for Carel.

In her stories and dalliances, she seeks to be in the light of men to outshine her self-doubt.
