In 1978 a young Australian news photographer narrowly
escapes death when the Rhodesian army patrol he is
with
is attacked by guerrillas. Hiding in the forest, he
discovers a remote, abandoned mansion. Inside the
house
he finds photographs and the forgotten belongings of
a beautiful girl. The following day, he is befriended
by an albino African boy and shown the girl’s
grave. She was, he learns, Nicola Reynolds, a vivacious
and wealthy young woman who had died mysteriously
eleven
years earlier.
Meanwhile in London a newspaper, Sunday Morning, is
being launched by American James Hudson and his best
friend Richard Blake, who is also the paper’s
editor. Back in the Sixties
both men once loved Nicola, as did Richard’s
wife, Emily, when they were all ambitious young people
starting their careers. But what kind of woman was
Nicola Reynolds? And how did she die?
Sunday Morning is a complex and moving story of shifting
relationships, betrayal and murder, set against unfolding
world events.
