Description: "1731: When his youngest son is killed in a tragic accident, Sir William Keyt, master of Norton House, buries himself in his fortune. He builds a second vast mansion on his grounds, squandering money he does not have on luxury his family does not want. For Keyt has long been blind to the desires of others. His eldest son has fallen in love with their young maidservant, Molly Johnson, a ray of light in a household dimmed by tragedy. Keyt wants Molly for himself and, driven mad with lust and jealousy, he will do anything to have her. Even if it means breaking the heart of his son, losing the sympathy of his favourite daughter, and bringing about the destruction of his family. Sad and shocking, Burnt Norton is the tragic story of a dynasty destroyed by love, and a once-grand house reduced to ruins."--Back cover.
