    About this ebook

    In rural France, Jane, a middle-aged woman with terminal cancer, seeks respite and space from her stale marriage. A chance to paint, swim, eat ripe figs fresh from the tree, find who she is and to earnestly decide whether or not to have more treatment.

    One night a car crash brings the young Pierre into her life and chan

    Author

    Dorothy Judd

    Dorothy Judd was born in 1944 in apartheid South Africa, and as a child of 11 faced the profound experience of loss and exile when her family emigrated to London. It is not surprising that those early experiences informed and enriched her professional life, first as an art therapist and then as a child, adolescent, adult and marital psychotherapist. In her clinical and research work, disability, loss, transience and bereavement were her key contributions that culminated in her seminal book, Give Sorrow Words - working with a dying child (Karnac, 2014 - 3rd Edition.) And now she explores those preoccupations in the form of a novel. Dorothy is married to the historian and writer, Denis Judd, and they have four children and six grandchildren. In 2016, she was long-listed by Cinnamon Press for Patch Work in their debut novelists' competition. PhD for Published Works
