The Marriage Crucible

William Streat

Still the Lonely Heart a Western Australian Odyssey
 

Harassed by a lifetime of guilt over youthful indiscretions and traumatised by her life’s choices, Ros Hamill returns to her Irish homeland forty-five years after her exile to the wilds of Western Australia to become a farming pioneer. The redemption she seeks reveals a different interpretation of the myth she has created about her life and motives.

‘Silently, she was shocked by each new revelation and the crudity that appeared to accompany it. Was this the netherworld of her vision when she left Southampton, the hell to be visited upon her for her indiscretions?’

‘She was dismayed that she had embellished the future beyond reason, the common failure of dreams. Was it to be her destiny, her road to fulfilment, to follow his prolonged male path?’

‘It was a surprising revelation - to find she had been hardened by the torture of her other life.’
