"On Bryan Cavanagh's birthday, a sealed letter from Rome arrives, bearing the arms of the ancient house of the Farnese di Mongrifone. Affectionate, even imperious, it is a summons from the woman he loved-and lost-in the turbulent, opportunistic world of postwar Europe. Beset by his memories of an extraordinary voyage on a private yacht on the Mediterranean forty years earlier, Bryan returns to Rome, where he discovers a closely guarded secret. In The Lovers, Morris West spins a glowing thread of love lost and regained, woven through a rich tapestry of intrigue, betrayal, suspense and murder. West is indisputably one of the world's greatest storytellers.' Telegraph Mirror The old master has lost none of his way with words. Daily Express"… (mere)

Reread after 10 years. Good character development and interesting desscriptions of political relationships following the 2nd WW as well as Italian attitudes to religion, family and women. ( )
  ElizabethCromb | Oct 6, 2021 |
Bryan Cavanaugh, former Australian navy man and lawyer, works on a wealthy man's yacht in the early 1950s, assigned to protect the man's Italian wife, a descendant of nobility, and they begin an affair, separate, and meet again 40 years later.

Publishers Weekly Review: A fable of star-crossed lovers, this smoothly written tale by master novelist West ( The Shoes of the Fisherman ) begins in the years just after WW II. Bryan de Courcy Cavanagh, a young Irish-Australian, is hired to crew aboard a yacht owned by rich American Lou Molloy, who has planned a pleasure cruise with his fiancee Principessa Giulia Farnese. The marriage will be one of convenience, arranged by the Farnese family, whose lineage was established before the Renaissance, by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and by Molloy, to facilitate new alliances in the political maneuverings of the Cold War era. Cavanagh and Giulia fall passionately in love, aware that each of the stolen minutes they share aboard the yacht brings them closer to the inevitable decision to part. Four decades later, Cavanagh is reunited with Giulia and learns the secret she has kept for all those years. While the plot is predictable, West spins his narrative as a glowing thread of love lost and regained, woven through a rich tapestry of intrigue, betrayal, suspense and murder. ( )
