The Banker's Daughter

Catherine Clyne has everything--except love. Rich, beautiful, married to a rising Government Minister, daughter of an influential City banker, owner of her own magazine empire, she craves love. She finds it in the arms of a dangerous lover who drives her to extremes of obsession. Cat rebels against her father and her social privileges in this dramatic story of passion across class barriers but her cut glass world and the illusions that hold it together shatter when her driven search for truth brings dark secrets to light.

This novel is likened to DH Lawrence's 'Lady Chatterley's Lover" a story where passion transcends class. Like Lawrence's masterpiece in its time, The Banker's Daughter (when first published by Sidgwick and Jackson in 1989) shocked many with its bold sexual scenes. The author's storytelling skills are likened to those of Jeffrey Archer and her descriptions of the chandelier lit world where top people make dubious deals reminds critics of the novels of the late Vanity Fair writer, and novelist Dominic Dunne.

A thrilling story with pace and unexpected turns of events prompted Prime Minister John Major to comment, "This book made my hair stand on end." More quotes and reviews about the Banker's Daughter can be found on the Books page of Nesta Wyn Ellis's website at http://nestawynellis.com
