Three Loves is yet another Cronin masterpiece. A powerful and moving novel which draws the reader into a passionate and tragic world of intense relationships. Lucy Moore, a happy and loving wife, suddenly finds her family security shattered by the arrival of another woman. Although she weathers this storm, cruel Fate has a further twist of the knife for her. Yet she heroically pursues her search for a great love amid hardships which inspire any reader with real sympathy – a sympathy which deepens as Lucy moves towards her final and most tragic discovery. In the magnificent narrative tradition of The Citadel, The Stars Look Down and Cronin’s other classic novels, Three Loves is a great book by a much-loved author.
