Over dit e-boek
Miranda arrives in an ocean paradise with husband Jim and most of the usual group for their annual dive holiday. Their daughter is grown up and living on the other side of the world. She and Jim have no special ties after a lifetime of travel. As she observes her companions she reflects on how the island is shaped to accommodate the tourist trade that is the region’s life’s blood. This year’s Bathroom Cockroach seems particularly watchful; the low bushes rustle oddly as though they too are watching; and burgers on the breakfast buffet (beef ... out here?). She senses something incongruous from the moment she sets foot on the soft white sand.
Over de auteur
Sue Knight writes short stories and poems. Her debut novel, Till They Dropped, was published in 2015. Her second, Waiting for Gordo, was inspired by her many trips to the Maldive Islands. Listen to Sue talking to Hannah Murray on Talk Radio Europe's The Book Programme about the Maldives, how they provided the inspiration for the book and where its name came from.
Sue was an invited contributor to the anthology that emerged from our Motherland poetry competition. She and her husband Colin live on the south coast of England where she is an active member of the local Jehovah’s Witness congregation.
