The Temptation of Eileen Hughes - Brossura

Brian Moore, whom Graham Greene called his ‘favourite living novelist’, was born in Belfast in 1921. He emigrated to Canada in 1948, where he became a journalist and adopted Canadian citizenship. He spent some time in New York before settling in California.

Eileen Hughes is young, hauntingly beautiful and very naïve. Befriended by her wealthy employers, Bernard and Mona McAuley, she leaves Ulster for the first time in her life to spend a holiday with them in London. But all is not well with the McAuleys, and, in her bewildering innocence, Eileen fails to see the perilous vulnerability of her position until it is almost too late...

A psychological masterpiece filled with passion and suspense, 'The Temptation of Eileen Hughes' is a stunning exploration of obsession and morality.

'No other Life, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, Black Robe' and many other novels by Brian Moore are available in Flamingo.
