To an already long list of unpleasant and tragic events, that in recent months have been visited upon a small West Wales community, is now added yet another.
To Susanne, a local school teacher, there seems to be just too many bad things happening and she is convinced they are part of something bigger, and that much worse is still to come.
The latest event is a suicide - that of a still-beautiful forty-five year old woman with striking red hair. Her name is Sophie, and she has a heart-breaking backstory.
We follow Sophie through a twenty year period, coincident with her long-term relationship with Vincent, four years her senior, to discover how a seemingly very happy partnership could end in such tragedy.
Although essentially a modern love story, the darker undertones that run through it will have consequences beyond Sophie’s life.
This is the third book in a continuing West Wales Odyssey series, and although ‘Sophie’ is a stand-alone story, the darker elements within it – and those of the first two books, ‘Splitting Rainbows’ and ‘Broken Crockery’ will lead on into Book Four in the series.
