Scrabble in the Afternoon by Biddy Wells
When Biddy Wells's elderly mother is suddenly struck down with a mysterious illness, Biddy moves her into the spare bedroom, little knowing how long the period of convalescence will last. Through the months that follow, the two women have to re-inhabit the close domestic proximity that they'd abandoned decades before and learn how to co-exist within a tangled web of emotional need. -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru
A refreshing and tender account of the obligations that entwine mother and daughter, and how these sometimes conflict with a life lived authentically, for bothWells beautifully charts an evolving relationship, somewhere between loving care, dependence and surrender. - ABI ANDREWS, author of The Word for Woman Is Wilderness; Biddy's book is warm and funny as well as brave and perceptive. - KATE PAWSEY, writing for wellbeing facilitator and founder of Writing Time
Biddy Wells lives in West Wales. She is passionate about her writing. She walks daily and loves nature, especially the Pembrokeshire coast and hills. She has two grown up children and adores her relatively new role of grandmother. She loves to travel, particularly overland around Europe and she always loves to come home to Wales. Her first memoir, A Van of One's Own, was a best-seller and continues to strike a chord with readers.
