Bennibister
"Charles Learmonth lay in bed wide awake. He was thinking of Isobel, her eyes, her hair. He was attracted. Outside the rain rattled against the window. Was he ready for a new relationship? Usually decisive he now felt confused. This was different culture. A lot went unsaid. He had caught her studying him. Was she checking him for character- like a horse? He smiled to himself. How would he appear? “Limbs good and strong, straight legs, a kind eye, good temperament?" Isobel Shearer was likewise awake thinking of her encounter with Charles, although he was mistaken. Women who work with horses are no different from other women when it comes to choosing men, the heart or the chemistry usually rules the head, so they make mistakes like she had done with Gary" This is a northern novella, set in modern times in the island archipelago of Orkney. "Bennibister" is actually the first in a trilogy; the second is "The Wedding at Bennibister." and third and final story is "The Third Norn," ( at Bennibister), all available as eBooks.
The Wedding at Bennibister
This novella is sequel to Bennibister. In that story, set in the Orkney Islands, a man searching for his emotional self finds it, only to have it plucked from him. A son remains as evidence of that passion and another woman enters his life. Can she match the love that went before ? How would I describe the Orkney Islands? “A woman, lying part submerged, bathing in a shallow sea of turquoise; her smooth rounded hills rising from the ocean, bringing forth an archipelago of islands in the blue water.” This would be true. Yet this is the North of Britain, the real North where gales and rain lash the treeless landscape and the sea pounds the cliffs. This also would be true. Against this backdrop people make their lives here much as anywhere, they live, they die, they love, they give birth. They reach for things beyond themselves." The novellas are in sequence, Bennibister, The Wedding at Bennibister. The Third Norn (at Bennibister).
The Third Norn
The saga of Bennibister continues. There are tensions in the marriage of Isobel and Charles as the the land loses its total grip on him and the sea beckons. Near death brings love and new blood. Enter the third Norn, teller of tales, giver of wise council, guider of the fates. There are three novellas in the Bennibister series; Bennibister (the Place of the Horse), The Wedding at Bennibister, and the last in the series, The Third Norn (at Bennibister).
