• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Enter the tangled Victorian marriage of Arthur and Karima just as their lives begin to unravel.

As we read their intimate letters and diaries, and overhear their conversations we begin to detect undercurrents of deep and secret passions.

As the year progresses we follow Arthur's attempt to find a cure for his friend's illness, a developing obsession with arcane ideas that lead him into a dangerous underworld.

Lonely and neglected, Karima finds new friends and begins her own journey, one which promises to liberate her from the rigid conventions that stifle Victorian women, but one which also leaves her vulnerable to the influences of more worldly characters.

Can Arthur and Karima learn from their adventures and emerge stronger together or will they be consumed by the secrets they unearth?

Autorenporträt

Wayne Cowling describes his stories as Tangled Yarnsfictions woven from Mereworld, a semi-fictional setting where alternate history and imagination intertwine. Working across realism, surrealism, humour, fantasy, literature, adventure, and historical fiction, Wayne creates short to medium-length works that are both entertaining and thought-provoking.

His writing often grapples with weighty themes, sometimes dark in tone, yet always tempered with wit and irony. Within these Tangled Yarns, readers will encounter a host of engaging charactersand may even catch a glimpse of themselves. Wayne's stories rarely offer simple answers; instead, they invite curiosity and reflection, and readers can expect to be both entertained and stimulated. Some of his works have grown from meticulous research, particularly in history and genealogy, subjects close to his heart.

Wayne lives in Manchester with his wife and their cats. A devoted amateur genealogist, he also takes a keen interest in the history of his hometown, Southport. Having begun his writing journey later in life, Wayne is making up for lost time by dedicating himself to stories that matter to him. Widely travelled across Europe, he dreams of one day moving to Switzerlandwhen his lottery numbers finally come up.
