Rose Gregory has suffered a devastating blow, a double bereavement from which months later she is still reeling. Sanctuary and rest are prescribed by her doctor. But when she arrives at her refuge, a dank and decaying Monastery, she finds it is not the haven promised. Despite the veneer of calm contemplation, the Monastery turns out to be a hotbed of intrigue and disharmony. Rose witnesses bullying and cruelty and ultimately in defence of the vulnerable turns to violence herself. Sylvia Colley’s extraordinary understanding of a woman’s struggle to deal with grief, the denial, the anger, the loneliness, is described without sentimentality. A beautifully written and moving story.
Sylvia Colley lives in Pinner, North London and spent many years as Head of English at the Purcell School. She has published a book of poetry, It’s Not What I Wanted Though and two novels, Lights on Dark Water and Ask Me to Dance. Her poetry and a documentary, The Tale of Three Daughters, about her life and the loss of two of her children, have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
