Description

GILLIAN JONES wrote A MISTED MIRROR as a response to her late husband Keith Jones's illness with Parkinson's Disease and to his poetry. Structured around the poetry, the novel imagines and explores the life together of a fictional couple, Sarah and David, with flashbacks to before they met, and chronicles David's later decline with Parkinson's Disease and dementia. Early readers have found it a powerful and compelling story, of a young man sowing wild oats in Africa, confronting his demons in the hothouse of a London arts community, and finding pleasure and satisfaction in a second marriage, family and career. The results of his illness come as a heart-rending contrast but mitigated by a generous late flowering of his poetry.

Author Biography:

After graduating from St Andrews University, GILLIAN JONES worked as a teacher in many parts of the world, including Spain, Portugal, and Colombia. Later, after specialist training in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, she was sent by the British Council as an ELT expert to Teheran where she met and married her husband. On returning to the United Kingdom she spent three years as a writer and producer in television. Gillian has two sons and now lives in the South of England.
