"Kicking through the ashes of dreams, drawing warmth from memories and comfort from ghosts...Watching the dreaming waters...Waiting in the heat...Savouring the scent of a rose...Dancing in the ruins...Charlotte Jennifer Grace Cornelius Glimpsed here in flickers of storm light are moments from a life with no anchor in reality. Older, sometimes wiser, always sadder, she navigates a fractured world on the quest that has obsessed her since the long childhood ride out of paradise in the mountains."
