Past and present, real and imagined, vsible and invisible, worlds collide as Glenda Beagan explores people, places and memory. Many stories peer into the natural and spirit worlds, at times with terrifying results. Set in an acutely observed north Wales landscape of trees and hillsides, seaside towns and isolated houses, owls and foxes, the characters within the stries are gently but tellingly revealed, from self-made men to women emerging from the shadows of others. And throughout these tales of inspiration, premonition and mental trauma runs a threat of resilient humanity.
