There are many people who enjoy the pastime "people watching".For the writer the study of the human condition is one of many tools which help form a story, a plot, a character, situations and outcome. When analysing human behaviour we are more often wrong than right regarding our judgement of others. We only surf a page of the whole story. It is this page that we must cherish the most, it is the foundation stone on which our imaginations can build the narrarive.In this book I have mixed fact and fiction. "Oh yes!" and some of my own Out Rage.Enjoy!Steve

This book is of great general interest, dealing with the death of a loved one, and especially now when coronavirus is leaving so many bereaved trying to cope with the grief and desolation that death brings. The author shares with us her journey after the death of her beloved husband, from darkness and despair to the light of life and acceptance. The way is hard and she stumbles and falls but, clinging to life and the support, love and understanding of her friends, she finally learns to live again.She will always remember, but she finds the strength to move on and through her poetic approach and the quotations she uses she weaves her experience into a wider canvas of the universal human experience of deep emotion.She says, every loss of a loved one is different but although mine was a single, unique and very private experience, just as a raindrop falling into the sea becomes indistinguishable from it and one with it, so my drop of pain is also a small part of the ocean of the universal human experience of loss.I hope this book may be a sharing and even a small comfort to those who have to tread the same stony path.This is a moving and inspiring book.

This is a story about the development of a Fenland community in the nineteenth century; a community made up of disparate individuals, coming together through shared experiences of life and death, of hardship and celebration, of achievement and disappointment. It is a story of a parish priest finding fulfilment, a labourer who discovers a utopian promise, a philanthropist whose ambition is thwarted by deceit, a miller whose priorities are suddenly redefined. This Fenland community is sensitively and sympathetically guided by a newspaper man with honour and integrity. The story is told, above all, on the canvas of huge Fenland skies, vast marshy wastelands and the ever-present challenge of wind, rain, sun and ice.
