Lester's Gift
by
Judi Lees
If you aren’t the person you thought you were, then who are you? After his wife Cassandra is killed under mysterious conditions, Lester Whittall finds his orderly life destroyed. Who killed Cassandra and why was she in that strange location are the painful questions that perplex Lester, his 22-year-old daughters and the police. When he meets travel writer Rachel Jasper, it is quickly evident that her world is the antithesis of Lester’s tidy one. Her ‘seize the moment’ philosophy is both bewildering and delightful. Although she has family issues of her own, she doesn’t let them distract her from what she thrives upon – incessant travel and male companionship. Visiting a shaman in Mexico, hiking in Australia, beguiled by the beauty of Thai and Cambodian temples – through his adventures and a growing intimacy with Rachel Lester learns much more about himself than about the foreign landscapes that he explores.
“A deeply touching novel with a vivid sense of place.” —John MacLachlan Gray, author of The Fiend In Human. “A heart-rending mystery that plays out in some of the world's great travel destinations. This absorbing tale of love and transformation will keep you riveted until the last page.” —Judy Ross, author of Canadian bestseller Muskoka. “Globehopping characters and a smooth prose style draw you steadily into the heart of this dramatic three-sided love story. Compulsively readable!” —Andrew Scott, author of the Encyclopedia of Raincoast Place Names. “A new genre – travelogue/mystery with engaging characters, family secrets and the exploration of the many ways that people deal with love and loss.” —Anne Tempelman-Kluit, editor of the anthology Sleds, Sleighs & Snow, A Canadian Christmas Carol.
