The Summer Flood

With a foreword by Mike Parker and an afterword by Norena Shopland.

"if he was to love and be loved he must make such open confession of love and receive the assurance of love in return"

Owen Morgan, an Oxford undergraduate, returns to his family home on the rural north coast of Wales for the summer.

The world has changed for Morgan. He is a man coming to terms with himself. University has offered new experiences, desires he had suspected but never acted upon have become real. It was a crime against both the law and God. He asks for forgiveness each time.

A month in the decadence of Weimar Germany has shocked and enthralled him. At home, his cousin Nest waits for him; patient, loving. Matthews will be waiting for him in college; impatient, demanding.
