Rosalind Belben Książki

This intimate portrait of a woman approaching middle age observes her thoughts and dreams as she tours Venice and the Scottish highlands. She recalls her country childhood, her relationship with her mother and describes an acute sexual frustration which pervades her lonely life.

Philomena is requisitioned from a Dorset field in the summer of 1914, and serves with the yeomanry in Egypt and Palestine until the end of the First World War. Faint news of her reaches Griselda Romney, her old owner. The impulsive Griselda, taking with her little Amabel and, of course, Nanny, sails for Egypt - to find Philomena and bring her home.
