This is dedicated to Tim for providing
an anchorhold in Shere
where I could write this book.
hah! we used to take Uncle Jimmy's A40 that had the spring out indicators lol It broke down everywhere, but never on a cream tea afternoon to Shere.
What a disturbing book, and certainly not for the squeamish. The back story of Christine is an anal rape as an act of droit du seigneur and her decision to be walled up away from humankind.
The 1960s tale is of an errant priest writing about the historical Christine, and his succession of abductions and murders in trying to replace an anchoress in the walls.
Bizarre
Although there are similar tales of abduction out there I think this one is the battiest I've read so far.
