The House of Charles Swinter
James Ward
Charles Swinter is eighty. When his estranged wife dies, he decides to go to Thailand and find a bride. He's not ready to die yet. Not by any means.
Edward Grant, his best friend, is young enough to be his grandson. When the old man goes missing, Edward travels halfway across the world to find him.
Yet what happens next is not so straightforward. The demands of conscience, murder, mental disturbances, reports of ghosts, a sham marriage, wrongful imprisonment, a slew of irreversibly changed lives.
The House of Charles Swinter is an epic romance. It concerns human dignity, the relationship between the sexes, goodness and beauty, poverty and wealth, globalisation, tradition and modernity.
And one man and woman.
