Love is a Curse - A spellbinding, gothic love story for 2025, from Richard Judy

A single sentence, that was all it took to define Cammy''s life. They came as her beloved artist aunt was dying, a teenage Cammy standing by her bedside: ''Did your mother ever tell you about the curse?'' Cammy is warned that the women in her family are destined always to lose the one they love. She thinks nothing of it - until the day when, in her late twenties, her new boyfriend is hit by a car. Convinced she is to blame, Cammy begins to investigate the one-hundred-and-fifty-year story of a family that is both ordinary and remarkable, tragic and beautiful. But is the curse real, or is there an answer lurking in the letters, diaries and paintings of generations of women whose hearts were broken? From acclaimed author Keith Stuart, author of A Boy Made of Blocks and The Frequency of Us , comes a daring and unique story of heartbreak and hope.
