520    In 1920s Jerusalem, civic advisor and architect Charles 
       Ashton has an ambitious (and crazy) project to redesign 
       the Holy City by importing English parks to the desert and
       knocking down Ottoman minarets. He employs William 
       Harrington, a British pilot, to take aerial photographs of
       the city and surrounding desert. At this time, Palestine, 
       under British administration, is a surprisingly peaceful 
       mix of British colonials, exiled Armenians, and Greek, 
       Arab, and Jewish officials rubbing elbows, but there are 
       simmers of trouble ahead. Eleanora, the young English wife
       of a famous Jerusalem photographer, meets and falls for 
       Harrington, threatening her marriage, particularly when 
       William discovers that Eleanora’s husband is part of an 
       underground nationalist group intent on removing the 
       British.  Years later, in 1937, Ashton’s daughter Prue, an
       artist who has escaped the pressures of the London art 
       world and a damaging marriage to live a reclusive life in 
       Sussex by the Sea, is paid a visit by Harrington. What he 
       reveals unravels her world, and she must follow the 
       threads that lead her back to secrets long-ago buried in 
       Jerusalem.  With its evocative, atmospheric landscape and 
       its historical backdrop with profound resonance for world-
       stage events today, The Photographer’s Wife is a powerful 
       story of betrayal: between father and daughter; between 
       husband and wife; and by officials during the complex 
       period between the two world wars.
