Saving It for Albie

Autor Richard Harris
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 ian 2013

Grace Andrews first met brothers Albie and Ray Rodway in her early twenties while holidaying alone in Corfu. More than two decades on, Grace and Albie unexpectedly run into each other again at a hotel in London. Remembering old feelings from the holiday, they become a couple and within six months get married. The play opens on the afternoon of their wedding when Albie has over-indulged on champagne and Ray, his best man, is helping him up the stairs to his Manchester flat. Grace's tactless and interfering mother, Rose, observes proceedings with an ever-critical eye. Between Albie's drunkenness and Rose's barbed commentary, not to mention the frequent phone calls from mysterious women, Grace finds an ally in reliable, good-natured family man Ray. When he produces an old photograph from the Corfu holiday, however, it soon transpires that the man Grace first fell in love with is not the man she thought he was.

Notă biografică

Richard A Harris, that's me, is a bit of a dreamer. On the one hand I am a busy Vascular Surgeon to real people. On the other a daydreamer and writer who fell in love with words a long time ago. I live in Sydney Australia, one of the most beautiful places on the planet and I'm deeply appreciative of my surrounds, my family and friends. I set about writing Imagine and a second book on the Thursday and Friday of what had previously been a somewhat disorganised and frustrating week in the life of a surgeon. Loving this profession but yearning to set some dreams, some adventures and some love down on paper. So, Thursday became Imagine and Friday became the second novel that will also be born shortly. It has been a hard couple of years for many. I lost my wonderful partner and Mum of my 2 gorgeous kids in early 2020 to breast cancer. So, grief has been part of the birth of these words, but they are written really just for love, hope and fun. I sincerely hope you will enjoy my words.Apart from surgery I have been a musician, a backpacker, a poet and painter. I have managed to get a public hospital rebuilt that was literally falling into the ground. (Hornsby Hospital) and in the surgical world I have progressed from the old style, massive operations that I learnt on to state of the art minimally invasive high tech treatment of patients with arterial and venous problems.I am finding time to overcome the grief that accompanies losing a best friend and to find the strength to finish my second novel shortly which will be another joyful journey into love, myth, history and words.
