Description

At the age of seventy-five, respectable Welsh pensioner Audrey Monkton steals a substantial amount of money from Nottswood Council, of which she is the mayor. Audrey flees to South America, specifically the Welsh settlement in Patagonia where she was born, and takes back ownership of her family farm. Robert Fry, a forty-year-old British diplomat based at the embassy in Buenos Aires, has been on a path of self-destruction for many years. He hopes that a new posting back in London might help him rejuvenate his life. However, he is given one last task before leaving for London: to locate Audrey Monkton and the stolen money. When Robert arrives in the remote region of Patagonia he finds that the task is not as simple as he expected, and Audrey is far from the frail little old lady he had imagined.

Reader Reviews

★★Liza Perrat

Quite a nice storyline, though very predictable. I couldn't give it a higher rating due to so many typos and grammatical errors. It was very over-written and in need of a good edit. It seemed almost as if it had been written by a computer, with little emotional impact. Disappointed, as this could have been a wonderful story.

★★★★★John MacLean

Refreshing An unusual story. Well developed characters. The writing could improve with editing. Part of the trouble was run-on sentences. Part of the trouble may be because the author is not American. Notwithstanding the writing the newness of the story was much appreciated. I have read many books and continue to read a couple per week. Thus a book I do not find boring is quite exciting.

★★★★★Conrad Samayoa

EnthrallingThe story deals with remorse, introspection and finally, redemption. From beginning to end, the book keeps you hooked. I imagined Patagonia a desolate place but I was mistaken. Conrad
