Dorothy - Neil Rathmell

One Eveningwhen They Are Sitting Quietly Togethershe Breaks The Silenceand Starts To Talk Dorothy Tells The Complete Story Of A Yorkshire Woman, In Verse, From Her Birth Early In The Last Century To Her Death In The First Years Of This. Like So Many Of Her Generation, She Lived A Life Both Ordinary And Extraordinary; Shaded By Grief, Troubled By Family Dynamics, And Restricted By The Realities Of Class, Location And Gender. Hers Was A Life Where Survival Itself, The Simple Act Of Continuing, Was A Victory To Be Celebrated - But One Where The Reminders Of Why We Continue, The Blinding Moments Of Sunshine When The Clouds Part, Were That Much Sweeter Because Of It.tender And Insightful, Harrowing And Uplifting, Dorothy Is A Stunning Act Of Empathy From A Son Towards His Mother.
