This is a thoughtful and intricate story of a year in the life of six people living on the Welsh border. At the centre is the young poet Gillian, a reclusive introvert. Other characters are renowned singer, Rowland; Edward his farmer partner; Nesta a gifted therapist and Phil, a young composer. If I had read this book in France it would have made me homesick for Great Britain, even for the mud and the rain.
