It's Only a Moonflower (The Thighs Trilogy, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

It's Only a Moonflower-the first book in The Thighs Trilogy-is a work of fiction for broad-minded adults. Set in South Africa in the early 1950s, it is the story of James Sothford, an Anglican priest who is sent from his home in England to allow him the opportunity to overcome a deep-seated personal problem. In the only year of his ministry in a troubled land, he encounters the precocious teenage son of an undertaker, a ghost, and a rival priest, Stephen Bardnor. Father Bardnor has a peculiar connection with the protagonist's church, and he is driven to do everything he can to hide his past. In his journal, Father Sothford records his own plight, not knowing that what he writes will become a key for others, decades later, to understand their incarnations. Both priests have to face the inescapable consequences of their deeds. There is inner turmoil for both. Will important evidence be revealed or remain buried? Will the contending priests resolve their problems or will there be an unexpected outcome for each of them? The ghost's role is crucial. The undertaker as well as his son and his daughter and a gardener provide colourful supporting roles. Desire, intrigue and murder come in to play as this drama unfolds and reaches a conclusion that will leave you wanting more. Intrinsic to the plot is a comparatively mild eroticism here and there, but the story as a whole (just over 49,000 words) could hardly be categorized as erotic.

Autor

Barron Tywood lived in South Africa for many years. He has held various positions in international shipping. Later, as a teacher to all ages—elementary, middle and high—in American schools, he taught a variety of subjects, chiefly English.

An interesting aspect of this author's life now is that he hardly resides in this space-time continuum because he is always somewhere else in his own mind.

On a certain day, he read Jack Finney's "The Third Level". That short story inspired him to do some research. In the process, he found that he could actually exit this space-time continuum and live wholly and completely in another world, perhaps even in the interstices of this world. Such a reality is entirely the product of his imagination, for, as his research proved, imagination is the gateway to the ordinarily unattainable.

Despite his involvement in metaphysics and paranormality, he demonstrates his ability to deal with the issues of life in this consensus reality. He trusts that you will be well entertained as you read his trilogy and become acquainted with the various incarnations of his cast of characters.
