Butterflies Swim in Light
by Keith Harris
A novel written for grown-ups who haven't entirely forgotten the magic of the child they once were and who are willing to allow the characters to live in the re-exploring of earlier years where the worlds of the child and the adult meet.
Extract from Butterflies Swim in Light
A brother-and-sister relationship stands at the heart of the book Butterflies Swim in Light . Their childhood lived in the woods, shielded from modernity yet embraced by the saintliness and 'not so saintliness' of the Catholic Church, their world infiltrated by Italians, Irish, Russians ... encountering each other in America of the Fifties and Sixties.
