Produktbeschreibung
Set in the future when Earth has become heavily over-populated, advances in space travel led to the discovery of Eden, an earth-like planet. Colonisation is progressing but the majority of the settlers are men and the need for more women has become urgent. Some willing women are persuaded to move to Eden to redress the balance. Beth is one such woman who has elected to live with four brothers. Each brother is uniquely different. The eldest, Luke, has emotional scars and maintains a discreet distance, which only draws Beth closer. The Eden natives are feline in appearance, affectionate and fun-loving. They have no discernable language or technology and are regarded merely as highly developed animals. They are particularly drawn to Beth and with their aid, she manages to solve the riddle Luke represents.
Autorenporträt
Born in London during the second world war, I was saved from a bomb-damaged house during an air-raid by my quick thinking mother. Possibly from the shracknel scatches, I developed a rare blood disorder which led to me spending parts of my childhood in hospital.. Being restricted to genteel activities allowed me to indulge my passion for literature and develop great skills with handicrafts. ¿ At the age of 16, I met Derek, a handsome young policeman, the intended blind date for my best friend. My friend was unwell on that evening and the relationship between Me and Derek blossomed. We got married a couple of years later and had two daughters. Derek left the police force and we jointly embarked on careers in the care profession. ¿ After seventeen years as a care home manager and with our children grown up, I was able to devote more time to the activities that I enjoyed; this included enrolling on a writers' course which unleashed my literary skill. Having several short stories and articles published inspired me to write my seven published books.
