THE VIEW FROM HERE tells the story of Frances who, in the mid 1970's aged 22, is drifting through Mexico, when she meets a glamorous group of wealthy Americans and is invited to stay with them in their mansion on a private beach. She is soon drawn into their hedonistic lifestyle and an affair with her married host.

Two decades later the sudden unraveling of her contented existence in rural England prompts her to recall this period of her life. And the tragedy and betrayal that marked its ending.
