Landfall: CHECKMATE

Continuing the high drama begun in Check, Checkmate picks up in Tenerife, where Edward Pelham’s life is in danger and an intimate human drama is unfolding at his sick-bed. Lives turn on unlikely events; comedy and heartbreak alternate. After the surprising conclusion of Checkmate’s first adventure, the action moves forward a generation. Beloved characters return for a new set of challenges and a wrenching, tender exploration of love, honour, loyalty and betrayal. On the beautiful island of Tenerife, connections are forged and revisited; loyalties and friendships are tested. Love hurts — and heals. As always, Alison James’ luminous and insightful writing transports the reader to another place and time where the people are every bit as human – and as dear – as old friends. Lyrically told, the story follows them through adversity, intrigue and generosity to a touching resolution.
