Letting in the Light (The Spindrift Trilogy)

Product Information

Second, without even finishing the story and knowing for certain that my initial impression is correct, I really dislike the concept of people giving up on their marriages.

It helps sustain my hopefulness, and not to wallow in the misery and frustrations of my condition, and my brokenness. Now the children are almost adult, Edith and Pascal, her faithful lover of two decades, are planning to leave their beloved Spindrift artists' community and finally be together. Yes, I have experienced the cracks in me and how I let the Light in and became much more because of them. It’s like an internal priority shift, where the pain is relegated to some out of the way corner at the edge of my consciousness, still there, but small and personal, in the presence of the global accomplishments, suffering, and curiosities, which explode to the forefront.Village gossip hints that he’s gay and his wife left him because he wouldn’t give her a baby but this doesn’t deter Ellie from trying to get to know Will, and the more she does the more she starts to like him. As Bobby Baker says, ‘When I had serious mental health problems I was mostly judged and underestimated, but when people see the autobiographical drawings I made during that time it helps change the way they think about mental health. By day she's a finance manager and looks at numbers a lot of the time, but by night she gets to use actual words and practices putting them together into sentences.

So I've been extremely pleased to have picked it up again over the past couple of days and found myself totally caught up in Ellie's journey as she moves to Rowan Hill to help her try and move on from a difficult time in her life. I love that her writing captures the atmosphere of place, whether it be the tranquility of Cornwall or war torn London, and also the time period her books are set in.Mosaics too are a beautiful example of how being broken and being fixed by the right fixer can result in beautiful creations.
