In the shadow of a decaying mansion, ambition unravels in Plymouth, a gripping novella by Mark Penney. Francis More, a seasoned lawyer whose career has peaked and faded, clings to the opulent Utopia estate as the last vestige of his once-perfect life. His marriage to the gifted pianist Elizabeth, strained by his hidden affairs and mounting financial woes, becomes a battleground as a high-stakes lawsuit over the expressway threatens to expose his fragile facade. When Elizabeth's death-deliberate and shrouded in mystery-shatters his world, Francis is forced to confront the weight of his choices amid the relentless rain that mirrors his guilt.
Spanning decades, Plymouth weaves a haunting tale of loss, redemption, and the fragile hope that emerges from despair. From the courtroom's tense drama to the lingering echoes of Elizabeth's music, Penney crafts a narrative as evocative as it is unsettling, drawing inspiration from William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation to explore the toll of pride. With lyrical prose and unforgettable characters, this is a story of a man reckoning with his past-and the faint possibility of renewal.
Perfect for fans of The Catcher in the Rye and The Great Gatsby, Plymouth is a poignant meditation on the human condition,
