Produktbeschreibung

For those without luck or courage for a consummate love

Binky's Reverie is a YA story that first appeared in my debut book, Strangers in Another Countrya short story collection. The story is about the coming of age of Binky Brown, a young Guyanese man with an idealised view of love and, to a lesser degree, about his quest for self-realisation and his place and calling in life.

Linda is a young Swedish woman who has broken up with her boyfriend and takes a university break to spend time in London as an au pair. She meets Binky at the Lutheran Church's social club; they become friends and indulge in a gentle romance, but not beyond. For Linda, it's a romance without a future.

The romance offers enjoyment and frustration for the man who has never gone to bed with a woman but loves dating beautiful girls who set their agenda because he lacks the confidence to move matters forward. Linda's message is clear to Binky. Only romance.

Their friendship continued through letters (hers: I miss our dates, your jokes and humour, yours truly or loving) after she returned to Sweden.

Linda then invites Binky to Sweden for a holiday. Linda likes him a lot, but only as a friend. Binky hopes to go beyond kissing, caressing and cuddling.

His hope is consummate love. But in his courtship, mere words and low confidence prevail. Binky hopes Linda will take the initiative to take him off the shelf.

Autorenporträt

I was born in Guyana, left there for the UK; worked and studied in London, before taking up residence in Sweden in autumn 1969. In the 70s, I tried my hand at writing fiction, mostly short stories, a four-act closet drama, a novella, and an unfinished novel. I spent two years nurturing the ambition to become an author of some repute. But the going was tough, with no financial security for the future. I shelved the idea of earning a living through writing and got a job as a hospital porter. Later, I got a BA (Eng. & Edu.). After a summer job at a psychiatric hospital, I decided to do a 4-term course for mental-health carers, Following that I completed the first of two stages of psychotherapy education and several short courses in cognitive therapy. After retirement, I did part-time mental health counselling work for several years. In February 2016, my debut book appeared: Strangers In Another Country, a collection of two short stories and two novellas, available in ebook and paperback. On 9th Dec. 2016, I published a novella, The Eternal Struggle: An Amorous Story. In March 2017, Two Girls in a Café, a short story appeared. Making Sense Of Past Time - a Novel available in paperback, and ebook format. Tell Me Who My Enemy Is - a four-act closet drama published this summer (2018).
