The voyage
(Book)

"Adventure dies in domesticity." So muses David Lyon, one of the stars of Canada's foreign service, as he prepares to accept the crowning moment of his career: his elevation to foreign minister. But half a world away, in Finland, the famous model Francesca D'Anielli is missing and presumed dead. What links these two so different individuals is a passionate love affair that reaches back into their youth, when, as a young diplomat, David first met the beautiful Francesca. Unbeknownst to his wife and children, and to the rest of the diplomatic corps, David had led a double life that now threatens to explode. Once Francesca's personal effects are discovered, David knows, their secret love will come out - endangering both his marriage and his career.
Told with relentless drive from both David's and Francesca's fascinating points of view, THE VOYAGE is a beautifully told story of love and its unforeseen consequences.
