Welcome to Hepsom, the most powerful Estate in all of England. It was a Royal Gift to the Fylde family from George II for their services in founding the East India Company. In 1945, Lady Aurelia Fylde, heir to Hepsom, had a secret illegitimate son, Cassie, who was fostered out to grow up in a London suburb. Aurelia's lover was Paul Hughes, a virile Australian who was chosen by Churchill in 1940 to use his engineering genius to build a revolutionary new gun to destroy U boats. Aurelia also had an older son by Paul who had been raised in the North Wales Mountains and whose identity is later falsely claimed by Gareth Caesar, a bombastic, charismatic Welshman whose meteoric rise to the height of Government under Margaret Thatcher was orchestrated by Aurelia. Then comes the day of truth atop the summit of Mount Snowden. Hearn paints a picture of the end of a demagogue and likens it to the murder of Julius Caesar. Did he fall or was he pushed? Perhaps one of Hearn's most vivid characterisations is John Sar, school teacher, Deacon of the Chapel and genius of the Welsh mountains, who discovered the scientific principle on which Churchill based the Hughes antisubmarine gun. Aurelia dumps Paul and marries Richard LaVance who turns out to be carrying syphilis and has had a penectomy. Fertilization of a female egg by him seems difficult but nothing is truly impossible nor is cradle swapping. It alters Richard's role in the legitimacy of inheritance. Paul Hughes is a libertarian in his views on sex and meets the beautiful Caroline, sex starved wife of a Cambridge professor; not far behind Paul, in the queue for (the now pregnant) Caroline's bed, is the bisexual Aurelia. The superb story of Aurelia's kidnapping of her own child and imitating the goddess Persephone is a masterpiece of witchcraft and worthy of becoming one of your lifelong 'go to' favourites.
