Product Description

Product Description

A dramatic story of forgiveness, family and friendship; set in the Welsh Mountains of Snowdonia.

Three couples in crisis, multiple friendships under pressure.

On-off-on lovers Daniel and Tina return to their childhood town near Snowdonia. After twenty-five years together, they marry in typically chaotic fashion, witnessed by old friends, Victoria and Linda who become entangled in the drama, their own lives changing beyond recognition.

However, as all their marriages begin to splinter, and damaged Victoria begins an affair with Daniel, the secret illness that Tina has been hiding emerges. Victoria's crazed and violent ex-husband attempts to kill Daniel and nearly succeeds, in a fire that devastates the community. On the eve of their first wedding anniversary, Tina returns to face her husband, but is it to say goodbye forever, or to stay?

Praise for White Horizon; 'This is a very good contemporary story about human relationships, intrigue and romance all set in a beautiful part of Snowdonia in North Wales. The place and people come to life in Jan Ruth's descriptive, very accomplished and realistic story.
Her characters are well developed, plausible, as if real people, that the reader can't help but develop both affinities and aversions to, as I did. The underlying understanding of human nature, its strengths, weaknesses and aspirations all shine through in this well rounded story...'

This publication is written in British English. Spellings and grammatical conventions are conversant with the UK.

Also by Jan Ruth: Wild Water, Midnight Sky,The Long & The Short Of It.

About Jan Ruth; Jan Ruth lives in North Wales and her novels feature the rugged Welsh landscape and more often than not, her love of dogs and horses. Although she writes serious love stories with strong characterisation, she also captures the humour of modern everyday life and the endless complications of relationships.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tears of joy and heartache. Loved it. 10 Jun 2012
By Leri
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wow. Just finished. I've laughed and cried, and cried a bit more, happy tears and sad ones. Daniel is amazing. Ms Ruth's best hero yet? Wow, yes, he warrants another wow. Strong and capable, warm hearted and sensitive. Loving and sexy. Looking for Mr Perfect, here he is. Human though, and susceptible to hurt and confusion just like the rest of us. Daniel is the main character, but the other characters are vivid and captivating too. Victoria is stunning, been through hell and turning her life around. Linda is lovely, and her friendship and background story is lovely. My favourite character after Daniel is Tina, scared now to give too much away. Every single character has their place though and by the end of the book, the majority of them have also found there way into your heart, with a couple of notable exceptions!

Fabulous! I loved it. So worth the wait, I have read and loved both previous books so was waiting for this one, the authors third book. I live in the area, and have wedding photos taken at the lake featured, which makes the setting particularly special and attractive to me. Others that don't know the area though will surely be drawn in, and maybe visit. It really is this lovely round here :-)
So, now begins the wait for the next one. . . .
(I may read this again though)

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful 5 Sep 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Beautiful descriptions, fantastic characters and a believable plot that holds your attention from page one to the end. This book kept me reading until I had finished it in one sitting. I enjoyed the twists and turns in the relationships between all of the main characters. Definately recommended reading for those who like a romance that isn't overly slushy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very colourful horizon indeed! 12 Dec 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A smooth and well-presented tale, with great attention to detail and well-developed characters - all set in the glorious Welsh countryside. I like to come away from a story feeling I have learned something, and this taught me about `facets' - life examined from many angles. Like the smooth front-of-house operations of a country hotel compared the pans bubbling in the kitchen, or the dirty laundry hidden from view. For me it is a story of roles and expectations, of dreams both achieved and shattered. Take your time over this it's not a story to be rushed, there is something to savour around every corner - I am sure you will take a little something of this story away with you too!
