Description
Tragedy strikes the deepening friendship between Tamzin Grey and Meryon Fairbrass when Meryon is blinded by ammonia while trying to prevent a bank raid.
Meryon accepts his blindness with a resigned bitterness, and Tamzin realises that he is gradually drawing away from her. Determined not to be excluded from his unhappiness, she buys a tape recorder and begins a “correspondence” with him, telling him all the local news including the machinations of Mrs Venus, the poison-pen letter writer, and the somewhat mysterious movements of Jim Decks, the fisherman; and together they train Meg, a failure as a sheepdog, to be a successful guide dog. However, an air crash, in which Meryon’s uncle and aunt are killed, send the Fairbrass family and Tamzin on a wild eleventh-hour dash to Spain in the hope of a successful corneal graft operation.
This new and unabridged edition of A Wind is Blowing includes 76 pages of new introductory and background material, including a preface by Shelley Edwards, Monica Edwards’ daughter.
