Suspense | Historical
In 1920s Jerusalem, eleven-year-old Prudence watches her
architect father launch an ambitious (and crazy) plan to
redesign the Holy City by importing English parks to the
desert. He employs a British pilot, William Harrington, to
take aerial photographs of the city, and soon Prue becomes
uncomfortably aware of the attraction flaring between
Harrington and Eleanora, the young English wife of a famous
Jerusalem photographer. Palestine has been a surprisingly
harmonious mix of British colonials, exiled Armenians, and
Greek, Arab, and Jewish officials rubbing elbows, but there
are simmers of trouble ahead. When Harrington learns that
Eleanora's husband is part of an underground group intent on
removing the British, a dangerous game begins. Years later, in 1937, Prue is an artist living a reclusive
life by the sea when Harrington pays her a surprise visit.
What he reveals unravels her world, and she must follow the
threads that lead her back to secrets long-ago buried in
Jerusalem. The Photographer's Wife is a powerful story of betrayal:
between father and daughter, between husband and wife, and
between nations and people, set in the complex period
between the two world wars.
