The Essence of Bliss
£15.75
“A warmth had settled into my being, ignited by that kiss and something had begun that could never be undone. A pledge unspoken and yet no less consequential in its silence. A promise of hearts and minds: The Essence of Bliss.”
Isabel Bliss is a devoted reception class teacher with a remarkable sensitivity to the emotions of the people around her. She experiences other people’s emotions as if they were her own, sometimes to an unsettling or even crippling degree. Her gift can be both a blessing and a curse.
When a boy in her class experiences unspeakable suffering, she alone must find a way to rescue him from his torment. Meanwhile, when a new affluent family moves to town, Isabel has instant and profound reactions to the two sons; recoiling from one and being inexorably drawn to the other.
Propelled into a tangled web of love, passion and power underpinned by secrets, deceit and betrayal, Isabel is set on an emotional journey of self discovery, challenging the very concepts of chance, choice and destiny.
