Product Information

It is important to accept the hiccups in life otherwise you can never move forward - Joyce portrays this so well. This process reminded me a bit of "cutting" that some people do to "relieve" themselves of emotional overload/misery. Rachel has also written over twenty original afternoon plays and adaptations of the classics for BBC Radio 4, including all the Bronte novels.

With Christmas comes memories, good and bad, that can have a massive impact on the way the path of one's life can change.

She begins to work through the grief in an most unlikely way which I will not expand on other than to say that help and solutions can come in the most unusual ways. It's a story about loss and love, renewal and change, giving up and letting go, reaching out and reaching in. Rachel Joyce is the author of the Sunday Times and international bestsellers The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy, and Perfect.

Going through these bad times is never easy, but simple escapism - doing something as ordinary as polishing - can have such an emotional effect on us. Binny was a sympathetic character to whom I could relate, especially her aversion to cleaning house! It is Christmas Eve and Binny has just four hours in which to make Christmas happen for her children. I'm not much into short stories but the author has managed to infuse this short read with depth and emotion that far longer novels often fail to achieve. A NICE CLEAN AND TIGHT UK FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINT PAPERBACK COPY OF A FARAWAY SMELL OF LEMON BY RACHEL JOYCE.

It is raining, her house is falling apart, the streets are jammed with people and it is all Oliver’s fault. Rachel Joyce has written over 20 original afternoon plays for BBC Radio 4, and major adaptations for both the Classic Series, Woman's Hour and also a TV drama adaptation for BBC 2.It was an interesting idea - a woman stops and recoups following a crisis, finding herself again in every day tasks.

No sermons, without sentimentality Joyce's words wash over you and through these fictional events a deeper truth is revealed. She moved to writing after a long career as an actor, performing leading roles for the RSC, the National Theatre and Cheek by Jowl. A beautiful gem of a short story from Rachel Joyce, bestselling author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Perfect. Entrare quasi per sbaglio in un negozio sconosciuto e trovare la serenità tanto desiderata, facendo pace con sé stessi. Also, you're not alone with our troubles - everyone has secret problems or worries they don't talk about and we often get so consumed with our own lives we forget that.A pleasant short story although I don't remember much about the resolution two weeks after the fact. Sometimes circumstances mean you withdraw from life and take others for granted, barely register the passing of loved ones and the moving on of friends.
