A blameless man

Everything about Edward Feathers is impeccable - his wardrobe, his manners, and his reputation as a brilliant lawyer. Now he is old and must come to terms with the death of his wife Betty, just as he has always dealt with everything. He has never spoken about what it was like to be torn from a happy childhood in Malaysia at the age of four and sent to a hard-hearted foster mother in Wales. His perfect demeanor deceives everyone, and sometimes even himself. But with Betty's death, something breaks within him. And so, on a winter morning, he gets behind the wheel of his car and sets off to explore his own life. The story of Edward Feathers and the British Empire is told in the second volume "A Loyal Wife" from the perspective of his wife Betty.
