Description

In Secret Places of the Heart, Richard Hardy, a member of the British gentry, embarks on a journey to mend his troubled marriage alongside a psychiatrist. This semi-autobiographical tale draws from H. G. Wells own experiences, including his tumultuous relationship with the acclaimed writer Rebecca West. Initially ignited by a provocative article that branded him pseudo-scientific, their connection soon blossomed into an intense and complex affair. As Rebeccas demands for his devotion increased, especially post-World War I, H. G. found himself torn between her and his wife, Jane, and their two sons. In a pivotal moment in 1923, he urged Rebecca to either recommit to her writing or end their relationship, a challenge that ultimately led to her newfound independence. In this novel, H. G. cleverly weaves Rebeccas essence into the character of Martin, a figure who both captivates and disturbs him. (Summary by Bill Boerst)
