The White Stuff

Серия: "-"

Abbie Fenton wants a baby. Her husband Felix, not unaware of the thunderous ticking of Abbie's biological clock, wants to oblige but their home has still to be blessed. Cue the usual round of doctors, tests, probes and scans all to no avail. So Abbie adopted at birth decides that if she can't have a child then she must at least discover whose child she is. Soon, she and Felix are caught up in a make-or-break search for family, identity and meaning. And little do they know quite where the journey will take them.

Armitage, Simon

(1963- )
   Born in Huddersfield, England, Armitage studied geography at Portsmouth Polytechnic, gained a postgraduate qualification in social work at Manchester University, then worked as a probation officer in Oldham, Lancashire. His poetry is exciting, combining humor with realism and critical seriousness. He has been short listed for major literature prizes and won the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award in 1993, and was poet in residence for the New Millennium Experience Company in 1999. Mister Heracles (2000), an adaptation of Euripides' Heracles, was commissioned by the West Yorkshire Playhouse. He has worked extensively in film, radio and television. The Dead Sea Poems (2001) is a collection in which questions of belief and trust, of identity and knowledge, are mingled with more mundane considerations, such as the problems of owning a dog and the vicissitudes of the job market. His "Poem" is a poignant reminder that what we do is sometimes not appreciated by others.
