21 Days In Swansea

Edward Chapman is a recently retired London financier, living near Oxford.  He takes an unplanned holiday to South Wales, after discovering his younger, glamorous wife is having an affair with a work colleague.  For Edward it's both a means of escape and an opportunity to spend time in the city of his former university, Swansea, where he met his first wife, Angela. During his stay, as he confronts the ghosts of his past and present, Edward slowly comes to terms with the fact he's been living a sheltered life.
 He begins to appreciate he's now living in a changing world, of among other things increased diversity, veganism, and greater freedom of sexual expression, one he slowly learns to embrace. As Edward forms new bonds and friendships and rediscover the city's attractions he remembers from his youth, he begins to wonder if he truly wants to go back at all and a friendship he forms with a lonely, female bookshop owner only intensifies his dilemma.
Will it prove the deciding factor in determining his future.21 Days in Swansea is a novel of reflection and memories in changing times.  It's a love story, but most of all it's a love letter to the Welsh coastal city of Swansea. The novel was previously serialised in the Welsh Country Magazine.
