Download or read book The Girl in the Rain written by J Christopher Wickham and published by J Christopher Wickham. This book was released on 2023-12-10 with total page 1342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The deceiver knows the Hungarian, the wise man keeps twenty-six ghosts in his library, and the widow carries the words of the dead.” This is the final, cryptic entry scrawled in the journal belonging to the late John Chapel – a journal that detailed his obsession with finding a woman who didn’t exist. Hers was just one of several faces that he insisted he saw there in the rain, and one of the many voices that called to him every night, drawing him further into madness. Despite his wife’s unwavering faith and tireless determination, she could only watch helplessly as the man she loved slowly faded away, like a fingerprint on a window being washed away by the rain. Now, months after his death, new information has surfaced that sheds new light on her husband’s bizarre case and renews Gwenn Chapel’s search for the truth. Her only allies in this crusade are her husband’s old mentor and eccentric history professor, Dr. Campbell, and his former best friend (and her old flame), Jeremy Connelly. As she uncovers her husband’s dark past, however, she begins to question their motivations behind helping her and suspects that one of them is hiding a dark secret of his own. Can she trust either of them to help her discover the truth or will it only be found in the cryptic pages of that journal John left behind? Only Gwenn Chapel can decide where the truth lies as she embarks on a journey that will challenge her faith, the limits of her sanity, and even her love for her husband. Will she be able to put all of those pieces together that her husband left for her to unlock the mystery behind the “girl in the rain”, or be pushed over the edge and dragged down into that abyss with him? This is the first in “The Epic Forgotten” series, which is a gigantically-proportioned tale about the three kinds of love we seek out in our lifetimes, the depths of loss, suffering, friendship, and faith told through the eyes of a widow, a history professor, and the cryptic words of a long-dead crusader. So, take your seat beside Dr. Campbell’s fire, have a glass of Calvados, and enjoy the tale of John Chapel and his twenty-six ghosts.
