Just as the great oceans have but one taste, the taste of salt, so too there is but one taste fundamental to all true teachings of the Way, and this is the taste of freedom.
BUDDHA
Work and love are at the heart of this wise, optimistic new novel from Stephanie Dowrick.
Around two immensely likeable women Cordelia and Laurie circulate noisy, opinionated friends, children, siblings, most of whom share their fascination with place, with creativity, with richly varied human relationships, and with vital, exhilarating questions about 'the taste of freedom' that underpins everything.
Cordelia is newly widowed. Laurie is the mother of two lively children. Each has known and lost love. Each is cautious. Yet the gift of their deepening affection, and their willingness to accept the challenge of that, allows them to find a new appreciation of life, and new meaning in ageing.
From this passionate and creative friendship, and through its intense, lyrical conversations, emerges a work of warmth, in- sight, and lasting generosity of spirit.
Stephanie Dowrick is the author of Running Backwards Over Sand, and also the international bestsellers Intimacy & Solitude and Forgiveness and Other Acts of Love.
