About the Book

On vacation with her boy-friend, Simon, a photo-journalist, Annya dreams of becoming a world-class reporter; instead she finds herself caught up in a nightmare. Simon is called away on a mysterious mission, but persuades her to finish out their holiday alone. The next day her usual swim in the sea goes disastrously wrong. Almost drowned by massive waves and strong tides, she limps home bleeding and shaken to find their apartment has been invaded, yet there's no sign of a break-in. Is the intruder hiding, waiting for her? What manner of being is the radiant and extraordinary youth who seems to be watching her from on high? Young Finn is also on a mission. He's been called back to his home planet by Gaia, Mother Earth. A story full of surprises, twists and turns, screeching round hair-pin bends, the reader has to hang on to their seat! The unusual love story at the heart of the work holds a message of beauty and hope for us all; gods and humans alike.
About the Author: Esme Ellis qualified as a sculptor at the Royal College of Art, London. Unable to continue with her chosen career when struck down by a paralysing illness, she experienced, what she terms, a 'minor miracle', when a voice spoke to her accompanied by a brilliant, blue light. What followed is a story she told in her semi-autobiography, Pathway Into Sunrise. She was also prompted to begin a new career as a writer, and a second book, a work of fiction, followed; Clea and the Fifth Dimension. Two more works have flowed that; Dreaming Worlds Awake, a collection of stories, poems, dreams and dialogues with some long-dead characters, including the renowned sculptor, Jacob Epstein who she met as a student long ago in London. And now this latest version of This Strange and Precious Thing.
