About this ebook
An uplifting journey from despair to hope. Rose Gregory has suffered a devastating 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 and the loneliness, is described without sentimentality. A beautifully written and moving story.
