Synopsis

In a quiet valley on the Welsh borders the lives of six people meet and cross. At their centre is Gillian, virginal and reclusive, a poet of literary descent and of distinction who lives in an uneasy alliance with her widowed mother. Gillian's late discovery of love is both rapturous and tragic.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Gillian Traherne and her mother Phoebe lead a remote existence in their grey, stone house on the Welsh borders. Gillian is a loner, an eccentric poet in her thirties, who has a difficult relationship with her very different mother: a well-known and expert gardener. Into their strange and secluded world, described with beautifully observed detail, come strangers from London to disrupt life as Gillian knows it. But with the joy of the love that she is to discover, will also come the pain and suffering of experience and the stark realities of the adult world.
