He had been born and brought up poor. Still poor he had married –
a wartime wedding. Quiet. Mary his wife came from the same street
and was quietly happy. That was her ambition: to be quietly happy and
live where they’d always lived.
But then he started to become successful. A job turned into a career
and the career demanded a move and another. Mary more and more
unhappy watched as he grew away from her and the background they
shared. Where he saw new interests she saw pretensions. Where he
saw opportunity she saw upheaval. Physically together they were splitting
apart.
And then he met Sally…
THE CHOICE is a masterly examination of what causes people to make the
decisions they make and what the repercussions can be.

Glorious surprise from master thriller writer Ted Allbeury. Deserting spies, he creates a credible, engaging love story whose gimmick deserves to make THE CHOICE best of all his sellers. THE CHOICE will capture adults of either sex who long to be in love again - or pray to get over it
Ted Allbeury manages this sleight of hand very competently, and of course the idea of anyone being permitted a second chance at life is irresistable
There is the usual Allbeury pace and planning, but never has there been such a complex twist - yet he succeeds in being convincing
Written from the heart
