The Liminal Space by Jacquie McRae
Hawkes Bay Today
Reviewed by Louise Ward
The village of Radley is a place where everyone knows one another, people gossip, friends and neighbours look out for one another and your business is never completely your own. It s peopled by us, our neighbours, the faces we see passing by.
William is the village eccentric: he lives alone, has visitors to his shed, skinny dips in the river, has long, raggedy hair. He notices when mothers pull their children away from him but chooses not to judge. He has a secret ache, and an ability to feel the pain of others. With this gift he notices what others miss, and puts things in place to enable change.
