The Strawberry Garden Book

Richard Deacon has everything a man could dream of, a country mansion, a fleet of classic cars and a fabulous personal fortune. However, the obsessive, driving force that elevated him into the ranks of the world's richest men was a double edged sword; it ultimately cost him his marriage and estranged his only son, Sebastian. After an expensive divorce and a bitter argument with his son, Deacon is persuaded by a friend to take a break in the tranquility of the French countryside. Soon after his arrival he meets a strange young gypsy boy (Joey) who is deaf and dumb and an unlikely and surprising relationship develops. Over time Deacon comes to realise that wealth means nothing at all without friendship and love. Gossip and the intervention of the local authorities threatens their relationship and Deacon must either back away or risk everything he owns to protect the penniless gypsy boy. The Strawberry Garden is a beautifully written novel that is destined to become a timeless masterpiece.Read More
