The Survival Theory

By Joan Rosier-Jones

Ngaire Rose is an imaginative child and develops her own theory about why her mother never returned to England after a holiday in her homeland, New Zealand.
The narrative stitches the story from the present day to the idyllic childhood, and the fateful events which are about to shatter it.
In the present day, Ngaire Rose is in her mid-forties, introverted; a warder at the National Gallery in London. Her isolated existence is upset when Jim Duncan, her cousin arrives from New Zealand to look up his 'rellies'. As reality and fantasy interweave with the surfacing of her repressed past Ngaire Rose slowly begins to awaken to the truth and posiibilities of life.
