Nutmeg
£5.99
Meg is growing up in a world of food filled fantasy; where her first tooth was so sharp her mother used her as a can opener & eating too many apples once left her spitting pips. Then age five she is humiliated in front of the other children at school & turns her back on the world of fiction deciding to let logic rule her everyday thoughts & deeds. Years later Megs mother falls ill & as she struggles to deal with the situation in an orderly fashion her mother remains cocooned in her obsession with cookery refusing to face up to her illness. Slowly Meg uncovers the truth about her childhood & is now faced with a humbling decision: to live in a cold harsh reality or envelop herself in a wonderful world of make-believe. Maybe life isnt defined as fact or fiction
- perhaps it can include truth lies & everything in between.
