Your writer, in conjuring this tale of murder, adultery, incest, ghosts, redemption & remorse, takes you first to a daffodil-filled garden in Highgate, North London, where, just outside the kitchen window, something startling shimmers on the very edges of perception. Fluttering & chattering, these are our kehua
- a whole multiplying flock of Maori spirits (all will be explained) goaded into wakefulness by the conversation within. Scarlet
- a long-legged, skinny young woman of the new world order
- has announced to Beverley
- her aged grandmother
- that she intends to leave home & husband for the glamorous actor, Jackson Wright
- he of the vampire films. Beverley may be well on her way to her ninth decade, but she`s not beyond using this intelligence to stir up a little trouble. & neither are the kehua outside the window. The sins & traumas of the past haunt us all. Call them hungry ghosts, grateful dead, dybbuks, kelpies, poltergeists, furies or kehua, we carry them with us
- across continents, oceans, decades & generations. Quite how they became attached to a three-year-old white girl is the origin of your writer`s tale. Suffice to say that murder is at the root of it all, that Beverley & her female bloodline carry a weighty spiritual burden & that this is the story of how they learn to live with their ghosts, or maybe how their ghosts learn to live with them -

Keir Hardie was a founder & the first parliamentary leader of the Labour Party. At the turn of the 19th century he was Labour`s most famous face. But despite being voted Labour`s ` Greatest Hero` at the 2008 Party Conference, in recent years his extraordinary story seems all but forgotten. Born illegitimate just outside Glasgow in 1856, his life didn`t start gently. Before the age of 10, he was the sole wage earner in his working class, atheist family. He never went to school but was self-taught, avidly reading books lent him by a kind young clergyman. This led to two major conversions in his life: first to Christianity, & then to socialism. While earlier biographies have neglected the former, pointing out his experience of hardship as the source of his passion for social justice, the role of Christianity in Hardie`s life was profound. It shaped his involvement in many of the greatest social changes of the time. ...
