Still Water

Driving alone in an isolated country lane at night a woman is halted by a dying sheep in the road and is helped by a stranger. She is drawn to the man and as their relationship develops both must bring their dark histories to the light, dreaming of a mutual transformation of their lives. Lyrical and disturbing, Still Water is a love song for Romney Marsh, an isolated and moody place of ragged farmland, ditches, ancient churches and grim stories. This short poetic novel is a meditation too on the trappings of the past and the hope of redemption, laced with mystery, strange nature and the apprehension of beauty through troubled humanity.
