Patrick Parker's Progress
"1940. Coventry burns but Patrick Parker, miracle baby, is born away from his home town, safe in London, saved by Fate, and clearly a Man of Destiny. Florence Parker, mother of Man of Destiny, glories in his progress and waits upon his pleasure. George Parker, father of Man of Destiny, would, if he could, do likewise, but he scarcely gets a look in. Patrick, born out of rubble, will be a great builder. He will admire Brunel, he will build great bridges, nothing will stand in his way and the world - and its women - will adore him." "Audrey Wapshott will adore Patrick, too. But he abandons her for a useful marriage and she follows her own random path to Paris. It takes thirty years but in the end Audrey triumphs, and Patrick - though as grandly esteemed as the builders of the great ziggurats of Babylon - is humbled by the marvel of enduring love."--BOOK JACKET.
