Review by Sukey Howard

Love takes center stage again, but this time tinged with loss. Barbara Taylor Bradford's latest bestseller, A Secret Affair is set against today's troubling, often terrifying headlines -- atrocities and apathy in Bosnia, terrorism and treachery in the Middle East.

Taking a break from his grueling coverage of the war in Bosnia, renowned TV correspondent Bill Fitzgerald goes to Venice for a little R and R and literally bumps into the woman who quickly becomes the love of his life. Vanessa, an American glass designer in Venice on business, responds to Bill as he does to her, and their affair, "secret" because she is caught in a loveless marriage, flames.

And how does it all turn out? Listen and Samantha Eggar, who narrates, will tell you -- all I'll allow is that you may need a few hankies.
