A Saint in Swindon Alice Jolly

Fairlight Books, pp.96, 7.99

This novella is suited to our fevered times. Scheduled to coincide with the Swindon spring festival of literature, now cancelled, it reflects the way we are now living. Inspired by the collective imagination of a Swindon book group, Alice Jolly has written a prophetic story.

The narrator is Janey, married to the older Phil and running Hunter’s Grove, a B&B in the Swindon suburbs.
