The Illusionist - By: Mr. G. H. Hitchen, 16 Jan 2004
As with the other books I have read by J Johnston, I could not put this down. It is about Stella who comes from a conventional background, & meets Martyn on a train. Martyn is a magical man - she is infactuated with him, & impressed by his skills as an illusionist. After a whirlwind romance they marry, & it is then that Stella starts to become unsettled by Martyn secret 'other' life as strange men visit their house entering a locked room, where Martyn is devising an extraordinary new trick. Unfortunately this involves birds, & Stella hates birds, & also Martyn's increasingly secretive life & manipulative behaviour. As their child is born & grows up, Stella has to stand by & watch her daughter being drawn in by Martyn's warped view of love & loyality until he does something unforgivable that leads Stella to take drastic action.
