Description
When Hermione - eccentric, seventy and returned from India to a
'safe' life in the Home Counties - encounters Slug street-painting on
the pavement, she employs him as assistant gardener. Slug, who has the
motto ' Never Grow Old' tattooed across his head, will soon sort out
Gerald, the pin-striped head gardener, soften his ruthless marshalling
of her plants and introduce a more effusive atmosphere to her estate.
But
when Hugh, Hermione's huge husband, dies, Slug's skinhead cronies begin
to threaten her peace, and Hermione retreats to the chaos of India,
chasing the memories of her previous life. What happened to the young
Indian with whom she fell passionately in love when she was nineteen,
and who had insisted that she marry the more ' suitable' Hugh? Can she
recreate the dream of over fifty years ago?
Writing on Skin is blackly comic in its humour and sweeping in its imaginative scope.
