The Pool in the Desert
Double 9 Books
The Pool in the Desert tells the story of a woman named Judy who falls in love with her best friends son. Just as they are about to elope, tragedy strikes when Judys husband is killed during a military mission, despite her lovers brave efforts to save him. Following this event, Somers proposes to Judy, but upon returning to London, she finds him far less appealing than she did in the desert. As the narrator suggests, Judy may be choosing pride over accepting a happiness that would require less humiliation than if they had eloped together. The narrative captures Judys internal conflict and her struggle between societal expectations and personal desires. The storys conclusion is deliberately ambiguous, leaving readers to ponder the complexities of love, loyalty, and the choices we make. Through its nuanced exploration of emotions, "The Pool in the Desert" presents an engaging tale that resonates with themes of sacrifice and the challenges of human relationships. | Sara Jeanette Duncan The Pool in the Desert Paperback Book
