About the Book

On holiday in the Galapagos Islands, two things happen to zoologist Daniel Kennedy. When the small aircraft carrying him and Nancy, the mother of his little girl, crashes into the sea he is confronted with a stark Darwinian choice- should he save himself, or the woman he loves? And when he escapes the plane, who is the mysterious figure who guides Daniel away from certain death? When he and Nancy return home the fissures in their relationship soon show, as Daniel also faces the truth about the death of his great grandfather on the first horrific day of Passchendaele. Then Daniel is given a second chance to prove his courage and earn Nancy s forgiveness. Nigel Farndale s THE BLASPHEMER is a story about heroism, conditional love and the possibility of redemption - and what happens to a man of science when he is forced to question his certainties. It is a rare novel of ambition that will appeal to the head as well as the heart of any reader.
