Demelza
– called Dee, the thirteen year old
heroine of my new novel, makes images and lists as part
of her strategy of dealing with the unreliability and blindness of the adults
around her.
There
is a lot of water in this novel. Dee likes water.
Beach with Tankers |
Here she is:
Salt crystals
Surging sea
Spray
Arms plunging
Dog leapng
Far horizon
Big ship passing
Rearing rocks
Stone sea wall
Woman with wild hair
Metal teeth glittering in the sun
Beach with dog |
White horses on the swelling tide
Unicorns surging after
Peeling paint on a gate
