Amantine's Song - Paperback

by Barbara Morgan (Author)

Amantine Delamar is a young and ambitious English literature university researcher, in London. On a Sunday morning, just outside Notting Hill tube station, she meets a green-eyed boy who she mistakes for a drifter. While struggling to ignore him, she is irresistibly attracted to his irreverent attitude and his way of provoking her. She goes back looking for him several times and finds out that he is not an ordinary guy, but Peter Wiles, member of a successful band, although completely unknown to her. Amantine is totally alien and disinterested in that showbiz world so far removed from hers, but she can't resist the passion that Peter rouses in her. So much so, it pushes her to repeatedly betray Geoffrey, her actual boyfriend. Amantine doesn't yet know what love is, and she doesn't even seem to be particularly interested in finding out. The only thing she really wants is to feel free and at the same time reach her professional goals. Amantine Delamar and Peter Wiles are both aware that theirs is a story without a future, and with no guarantees. They set up rules that should never be broken: "no questions, no claims." But love, against every rule, is lurking and the bond between them grows deeper and more intense, such that Amantine and Peter, as well as lovers, become more and more friends, partners, supportive of one another. Unaware of a passion that will bind them for years.
