About

For as long as she can remember, Imogen Rose has dreamtstories. Stories that she could, would, continue from night to night, from dreamto dream. So, going to bed was never an issue, just an anticipation of thestory to come.

   Imogen. was born in a small townin Sweden and moved to London in her twenties. After obtaining a PhD inimmunology from Imperial College, she moved with her family to New Jersey,where she has been based for the past ten years. Although storytelling is herreal passion, she has only now decided to share her stories by publishing herfirst work of fiction, PORTAL.

   PORTAL would have remained in herimagination, to be shared only with her daughter, Lauren, had Lauren notinsisted that she wrote it down. In the course of a month, Imogen typed whileLauren waited eagerly by the printer for the pages to appear, and a novel tookshape.

   The warm reception PORTAL hasreceived has encouraged Imogen to continue with the story and the PortalChronicles will continue with EQUILIBRIUM, due to be published Summer 2010.

Description

<p>A mythical jewel of a story… A true story told on a beach in Yucatan, A Shadow tells Stephanie's story but it was also the story of the golden time. Its nostalgia sings like cicadas in the heat.</p><p>An American ‘Under Milkwood’, this distilled novel of the Sixties evokes the sounds, music and optimism on the free-wheelin streets and parks of Coconut Grove. You can hear Bob Dylan still strumming acoustic; smoke a joint with Fred Neil; and Everybody’s Talkin is carried on the wind.</p><p>Stephanie, a young hairdresser living in lodgings finds herself pregnant. Refused help from her hard Catholic mother in New York, unable to abort her baby, she accepts the kindness of Miriam, her Jewish landlady, whose own barren life spills into compassionate assistance for the daughter she never had.</p><p>The poignancy of its ending, its generosity and acceptance, echoes the bitter disappointment of those of us who hoped for so much more, but who remember its joy, and its promise, as though untarnished by time.</p>
