I Can't Forget You

Derek Bailey is one of Britain's finest tenors. He never forgets Elspeth McPhail, the young Scottish house-keeper who worked for him when he was starting his career in the nineteen-thirties. Although he becomes famous and successful, his personal life is far from fulfilling. This novel covers Derek's professional and personal life over a span of forty years including his two unsatisfactory marriages and his affair with a young woman forty years his junior.
