«Scandalous Risks» is the romantic novel by Susan Howatch, published by HarperCollins Publishers in paperback (480 pages, in English).
In 1963, when traditional values are being questioned, Venetia Flaxton, a young woman in her twenties, becomes involved with Aysgarth, dean of Starbridge Cathedral and father of her best friend. Married and a senior clergyman, Aysgarth can only offer her an admiration that turns obsessive, while the risks increase and the lies multiply; the story explores sin, redemption and the human need for love and happiness.
It is part of the Starbridge series, a set of six interconnected novels that trace the history of the Church of England throughout the twentieth century.
For readers of romantic fiction and literary fiction with a historical setting in ecclesiastical England.
Susan Howatch is a British author. Her writing career has been distinguished by family saga-type novels that describe the lives of related characters for long periods of time. Her later books have also become known for their religious and philosophical themes.
