The Rose And The Yew Tree by Mary Westmacott
A housebound young man, immobilized after an accident, observes a turbulent by‑election in a West Country town and the consuming attraction between a charismatic, self-made candidate and a poised aristocratic woman already engaged. Their affair powers his meteoric rise and her crisis of conscience, but ambition, class constraints, and personal weakness take their toll, leaving reputations shattered and the observer to reckon with the painful gap between dazzling surfaces and the truths they conceal.
