Cress lived in fantasy land, she always had. Her schoolmates, with whom she wasn't necessarily always on guard, might call it telling lies, but nobody thought anything of it at home, it was just Cress, so much the youngest that she made her own world... nobody thought it was dangerous. She would grow out of it when she married and joined the real world. Cress did grow up, and she did marry, but she didn't leave her fantasies behind.

Produktbeschreibung
Cress lived in fantasy land, she always had. Her schoolmates, with whom she wasn't necessarily always on guard, might call it telling lies, but nobody thought anything of it at home, it was just Cress, so much the youngest that she made her own world... nobody thought it was dangerous. She would grow out of it when she married and joined the real world. Cress did grow up, and she did marry, but she didn't leave her fantasies behind. The situation into which they carried her was so terrible that she was afraid to tell the truth - so afraid that, in fact, she lost sight of where fantasy ended and the truth really began. And Debbie Nankervis, driving to Cornwall through a blizzard to talk business with her friends Tim and Lesley, was all unknowing on a collision course with the consequences. A great painter with words, Jane Hatton shows us just how difficult family relationships can sometimes be.
Autorenporträt
Jane Hatton was a child during World War II, and grew up in the unpermissive fifties, when career options for women were largely confined to Secretary, Nurse, Teacher, Physiotherapist. She opted for the first, thinking the skills required would be useful in her preferred career as a writer, but has also worked in hotels, as a sailing instructor, in a craft workshop and as a cookery demonstrator - a remarkably unstructured career - while continuing to write whenever there was a spare moment: sometimes there were not many! She has had two children's books published in the mainstream (a while ago now), followed by three novels in the genre of "literary fiction", plus The One Too Awful to Mention - which we don't mention - and has also independently published a long series about the Nankervis family and their friends and relations, all set in various areas of the West Country. Apart from writing, her interests include sailing, painting - including at one time scenery for the local pantomime - archaeology, photography and cooking. She lives in Cornwall, on her own these days, with a small black cat for company and a background of family and friends.
