The Lighted Rooms Paperback / softback
by Richard Mason
Paperback / softback
Description
A stunningly incisive and poignant novel about family, duty and the challenging world of the mind. Joan McAllistair is about to embark on the 'Trip of a Lifetime' with her daughter Eloise; a journey back to her childhood South Africa and the family homestead in the old Boer Republic of the Orange Free State. For Eloise, the trip is partly a gift, partly a means of assuaging her guilt at moving her mother into a care home.
For Joan, the discovery of her grandmother's journal transports her to the troubled times of the Anglo-Boer war.
Eloise, in the meantime, has gambled her business's entire fortune on a promise made by an old lover. As their stories unravel, Joan takes increasing refuge in the landscape of her mind - in journeys to her own past.
She also finds an unexpected friend in a lonely teenager who shares her fascination with history.
