Opis

Every person is the main character in their own story, and no matter how unimportant it may seem, it is still worth telling. And in this book, three women on the periphery of greater events, Melanie Adamms, Tina Branford, and Jenny Hudson get their chance to be heard. Melanie Adamms, a young maths student, finds her life turned upside-down by a chance encounter in a Manchester night club Tina Branford returns from Alfheimr to find nothing but terror, bewilderment, frustration, and despair. But she finds new friends who help her find a way out. Jenny Hudson drifted through life, not knowing what to do, till she found herself in Chester where it all went downhill. Torwen, Tina Aensland, and Emily Jones give their accounts of things. Torwen, once the leader of a forest dwelling people finds that, while the world might not have come to an end, her people have ended up somewhere truly strange and have been changed for the worse. And that's not the worst news either. Tina Aensland married Eric Hoyle and her life went downhill from there as his associates took her peace of mind and her innocence of the weird things that lurk in the shadows. Emily Jones came home from university to find out several... unfortunate things about both her mum and her new found friend Melian. And then we dip into the early years of Cairistiona mac Coinneach and Siusaidh mac Briain, as well as hear from Sharron Moffat and Mary Ryan about the worst days of their lives. Doreen McKenzie tries to help Eira Whyte, and Emily Grainger and Sandra Moffat have an... interesting little talk.
