  A stunningly powerful novel of love and suffering from the acclaimed author of SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY and CHARLOTTE STREET. At a terrible moment of high drama, with a fire on a North Sea oil rig, Madeline Light, a trauma therapist, is flown in by helicopter to give immediate aid to survivors and their families. Posing as an oil company official, Flynn Brennan, a photo-journalist specialising in war and disaster, usues her to gain passage onto the rig to take photographs of the aftermath. Three months later, with his marriage almost in tatters, and showing the early signs of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, Brennan doorsteps the therapist and persuades her to take him on as a client. He comes across as hard-bitten and provocative, but despite herself and her own steady but untimately barren relationship with the sculptor Patrick, Madeline finds herself irresistibly drawn to him. During the progress of his therapy and of their relationship, Flynn is finally restored to himself and Madeline healed of her own secret trauma. Like THE HORSE WHISPERER, THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN and THE PRINCE OF TIDES, HEALING FLYNN works at several levels -- as an emotionally impactful love story; an incisive analysis of human relationships, and as a wise novel about the nature of tragedy, suffering and healing.

  A woman with buried secrets, a man whose past threatens to overwhelm him...

  Making peace with the past can be the hardest thing to do...

  Madeline seems to be a woman in control - of her work, her relationships, her whole calm, clockwork life. But beneath the surface, she is haunted by a tragedy which she locked away long ago.

  When she meets Flynn, a troubled war photographer, she is thrown into turmoil. He too has a traumatic past, a history which he cannot contain. Disturbing memories have begun to overwhelm him, threatening his marriage, his relationship with his children and his career in the process.

  Thrown together in their struggle to cope, they connect in a way that is as terrifying as it is exhilarating. But to move on with their lives, they must face up to - and deal with - not only the present and their powerful feelings for one another, but the ghosts that have haunted them for so long...
