BETWEEN DARKNESS AND LIGHT
'I wasn't all in one piece last autumn. My jaw was broken and my teeth were knocked loose like peppermints, they rested on my tongue in a liquid of iron and salt.'
Esther's dreams of a glamorous life in London are shattered when she has a serious accident which leaves her with life-changing injuries. Living in her childhood home in Orkney, she retreats into a silent world until Marcus, a musician down on his luck, comes to stay on the island and reaches out to her through his music.
Described in rich, subtle detail-town, land and sea-in sharply observed and lyrical excitement, Esther's inner voice-tough, desperate, cutting, hilariously sarcastic, witheringly dry, suddenly tender-explores what it means to have one's dreams shattered and the impact that facial scarring has on identity.
