Produktbeschreibung

1970, traumatised, Elspeth Fairweather returns from Istanbul where she witnessed the assassination of her diplomat husband. She accompanies his body back to Wales for burial. The funeral is conducted by family friend, Bishop Dominic Gregory, and the village rector, Simon Shorthouse. The middle-aged rector is becoming increasingly doubtful about the credibility of the Church's controlling stance. His left-wing thoughts and pagan daughter add to his problems. Simon is questioning his acceptance of his post in this church built from the proceeds of slavery and the rum trade. Elspeth is irritated by his lack of deference to the upper class. After the funeral, Elspeth is alarmed to glimpse an apparition gazing at her. Disturbed, she travels to Auchdair, her childhood home in Scotland, leaving her son, Angus, to develop a racehorse training stable. Finding the spirit has followed her, she decides to return to Whistledon, where her presence disrupts the smooth running of Angus' new venture. Why is Elspeth being haunted? As the story unfolds, Elspeth is pursued by an agent of the Foreign Office and is assisted by a young curate.

Autorenporträt

Bryn Berry is the pen name of sisters, born Margaret and Sonia Booth in Yorkshire.

The book started as letters written in October 2020, UK lockdown, sent by email.

Margaret sent the first letter as Sir Angus Fairweather, baronet. Sonia replied as the Reverend Simon Shorthouse MA Cantab. The identities appeared (as part of a creative writing exercise).

Turning the letters into a book has given the sisters more reasons to phone/message and spend time together. A blessing.
