Excerpt from Storm in a Teacup
Medora Dingle was a dark-faced girl, with black hair and a pair of deep, brown eyes - lovely, but restless under clean, arched eye-brows. Her mouth was red and small, her face fresh and rosy. She seemed self-conscious, and shivered a little more than was natural; for she was strong and hearty enough in body, tall and lithe, one who laboured six days a week and had never known sick ness. Two of her fingers were tied up in cotton rags, and one of the wounds was on her ring finger so that her wedding ring was not visible.

Excerpt from Storm in a Teacup
How musical are the place names on the tidal water of Dart. Tuckenhay and Greenway, Stoke Gabriel and Dittisham, Sharpham and Duncannon - a chime of bells to the native ear that knows them.
To-day autumn rainbows burnt low on the ferny hills and set their russet flashing. Then hailstorms churned the river into a flurry and swept seaward under a grey cowl. They came with a rush of wind, that brought scarlet leaves from the wild cherry and gold dust from the larch; but soon the air cleared and the sun returned, while the silver fret of the river's face grew calm again to mirror far-off things. Easterly, the red earth arched low on the blue sky; west spread cobweb-grey orchards, their leaves fallen, their last of apples still twinkling - topaz and ruby - among the lichens of their ancient boughs. Then broad, oaken hangers met the beech scrub and the pale oak foliage was as a flame dancing above the red-hot fire of the beeches. Their conflagrations blazed along the tideway and their reflected colour poured down over the woods into the water.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book transports the reader to a richly rendered world of 19th century England. The author vividly depicts life in a rural Devon village, where the hum of a bustling paper mill is the lifeblood of the community. The narrative centers on the lives of the people who work at the mill, exploring their relationships, aspirations, and struggles. We meet Medora, a young woman struggling with a sense of discontent in her marriage. Her mother, Lydia, a strong and perceptive woman, grapples with the challenges of navigating the complex emotions of her daughter's relationship. The book also delves into the intricate details of the papermaking process, from the arrival of rag bales to the meticulous sorting and preparation of the raw materials. This detailed glimpse into the craft of papermaking offers an insightful commentary on the changing nature of work and the rise of industrialization. The author weaves together these personal stories with the larger societal shifts of the time, creating a captivating portrait of a community grappling with modernization and the evolving role of women in society. Through the lens of this seemingly ordinary world, the author explores themes of love, marriage, family, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. The book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of individual and communal aspirations, revealing the complexities of human relationships and the enduring power of tradition in the face of change.
