Novel - Without Reproach

Written by novelist, Anthony James Barnett, Without Reproach forms part of a new wave of novels, combing mystery with expicit relationships, realism with affairs and life. In the first of two novel concerning the powerful families of Spain, we are introduced to the Garcia's in their rawest form.

La Finca Piedra is a beautiful Spanish villa and riding school, nestling under the sierras of the Costa Blanca. Jenny, born and raised in England, has no idea why she inherited it from Spanish artist, Juan García. She has never been there, never met him, has never heard of him and is not related to him... yet there are things about the ancient villa that feel uncomfortably familiar and she struggles to understand why - especially when she discovers a nude painting of herself.

Eduardo, twenty years younger than half-brother Juan, is the main beneficiary of the Will. Conflict erupts out of Eduardo’s single-minded resolve to preserve the finca for the García family, and Jenny’s equal determination not to give it up. However, the longer she is there the less she understands, and she begins to question her sanity...

Direct and compelling, WITHOUT REPROACH is about intrigue, deception, and self-torment, the struggle between the arrogance of man and the inner strength of woman, a story of illicit emotions and dark secrets.
