Bronwen's life has been tainted by her killing of a man who tried to rape her in the lane behind her parents' house. She tells nobody about the incident but her guilt manifests itself in the frequent nosebleeds she has at awkward moments. Fifty years later, she is still living her life sentence.
It's a shame this book is out of print, because I really enjoyed reading it. In fact there are not many books I can remember the title of six months later and still want to give a rave review. This story evokes emotions of pity and despair alongside warmth and feeling throughout. If you like books about a persons feelings and their reactions to those feelings then this novel will certainly bring about the whole spectrum as the life of the story teller unfolds. Fantastic.
