Description

Thalia, a poignant tale of first love and social disillusionment, follows Rachel, an 18-year-old art student recovering from illness, as she navigates her new life in France. Advised to spend a year abroad, Rachel agrees to accompany Cynthia, a delicate woman whose husband is in India, and her two children, including the troubled 15-year-old Thalia.

As Rachel settles into her new role, she finds herself drawn to the son of a Breton family, but their friendship with Thalia is complicated by Rachel's romance. The novel centers on Rachel's story, poignantly telling the tale of her first love, her growing awareness of social life's vagaries and dishonesties, and the tragedy that unfolds.

Set against the backdrop of 1930s Brittany and the cafés and artists' studios of Montparnasse, Thalia is a dramatic and poignant novel by Frances Faviell. The book includes an afterword by the author's son, John Parker, and other supplementary material.
