Undressing Stone

Sian Evans is a feisty yet emotionally aloof divorcee with a secret. When her shrink asks her this question she takes it seriously. Giving up her stable home and job in Wales, Sian travels alone to a forgotten corner of rural France to begin a new life in a borrowed cottage. Undressing Stone is a mysterious tale which flirts with the gothic as it interweaves Sian's conversations with her psychiatrist, with her newly reclusive life in France. There she meets an enigmatic sculptor with a penchant for working in the nude. Will their odd encounters encourage Sian to admit a truth she has avoided for years? And what are the consequences if she does? In a narrative that moves between caustic observation and the richly sensual, this is a novel that challenges many of our taken-for-granted assumptions about modern-day life, and that celebrates the unconventional.
