The Perfect Shade of Whyte by Neale Hambidge
Do not awaken love before it is ready. After months of searching, a beautiful woman is found dead at an old, secret secluded Manor called Halcyon, deep in a forest. Around her are medical pills and her insightful memoire, written as she lay dying, unknowing that her words will ignite power consequences. When two London students meet, there is an instant attraction and yearning for romance, but Esther is enduring her wait for her singular perfect man and David longs to find love by moving from one girl to another. Esther, as a Christian in The Salvation Army, aspires to join the British Foreign Office believing she can serve God there, but David is an Atheist who just wants to become an electronics engineer. In their growing friendship, their longing is shattered by high expectations and a misunderstanding. Their hurt, resentment and guilt takes decades to reconcile, but their jealousy and admiration inspires each other to become successful in their separate lives and chosen careers. They inadvertently become admired as national celebrities as they charm the public with their endearing commitment to World Affairs and the poor of London. From the devastation of a Sudan famine and the street of the homeless, with the stardom of Hollywood and the turmoil of the Middle East, in the midst of murder and the oppression of cancer, their worlds collapse with sexual and political scandals as the international News watches. Through emotional devastation, they find each other and forgive their past bitterness, but with deep virtuous convictions and emotional defences to barricade themselves against hurt and dissatisfaction, do they surrender to their strong attraction, or can they stay strong in their convictions against the tide of the world? God is not afraid to love you.
Neale Hambidge, having gained an electronics degree at Queen Mary College, London, worked as an engineer for many years testing the software for the onboard Flight Control Computer System of the EuroFighter, Typhoon, which is now in service with the RAF. He was made redundant and spent three years undertaking another degree with Christ Church, Canterbury University, to become a surgical nurse in the NHS to work in the operating department of The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London. The Inorganic, Neale's first book, was published in 2009 from many years of writing as a creative hobby, and over the following 8 years he wrote his second book, which was initially called The Perfect. As time progressed, it was changed to be called The Perfect Shade of Whyte, following Fifty Shades of Grey. In 2017, he revised his first book, renamed it as A Life Less Real and published it in 2018, along with his second novel. Two more books are on their way with Mastery of Hate, which is a horror, detective story of a young female Asian who investigates far more than just a serial killer to discover the potential darkness there is in every society, and Million Miles a Minute, which is a coming-of-age story of two brothers who are addicted to motorbikes and learn the dangers and damage that can come from chasing their dreams. Neale was brought up in The Salvation Army and is now married to Ilse. They met in Jerusalem.
