She struggles to bond with strangers, and the landscape she crosses has changed radically. She has little sense of what she'll find at the end of the road. All she knows is that she must get there.  'Maureen Fry and the Angel of the North' is a deeply felt, lyrical novel, full of warmth and kindness.Short, exquisite, powerful: it is about love, loss, and how we come to terms with the past in order to understand ourselves and our lives a little better.  Please contact seller,for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas customers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!
