Opis

The story of Brother David: about his thoughts and dreams, people and places around him, existing both in the now and the past. A Franciscan friar, David is content in his life but continually searching for something unknown - as if he were attempting to make a jigsaw without having the picture to show the finished image, and not knowing whether the piece he is picking up fits his jigsaw or someone else's. Set in North Yorkshire, the friary has many comings and goings, and David is very much part of this. He loves to wander, in the woods and moors - but also in his thoughts. A chance meeting and a string of curious events sparked David's imagination and this searching journey seemed to run parallel to his own, at times more than overlapping and also challenging his beliefs. This is a story, although some of the place names are familiar and the characters are more typical than real. We are all on a long journey home and although some of this journey must be on our own, others have often been there before us..
