About this book
At sixty, Simon Searell leaves his church mission in Stonehouse to look for spiritual light among flowers and in solitude. A short message about wood anemones draws his thoughts away from foggy streets and toward a different understanding of faith. His conversation with Father Damon sets personal conviction against religious discipline, while the living flower becomes a measure of the innocence he hopes to find.
John Trevena's collection places this religious searching beside the rough landscape and everyday concerns of Dartmoor. In "Business Is Business," the river Tavy, exposed villages and abandoned mines introduce a district shaped by weather and work. An elderly resident of Peter Tavy regards himself as a versatile genius, though the narrator takes a less generous view. The stories offer readers descriptive nature writing, local speech and sharply drawn tensions between people's ideals and their conduct.
