TRANSSEXUALISM. Not a reason for controversy!
...A very major cosmetic change and hello Mary...

This description was written by Walter Lambert, for Callassa Media Company Ltd.

I was asked to write a description of this book but I think that all I should say about it is that I thought it was wonderful. It's not saying much, I know, but there is no doubting that the book will affect you. Its theme is so very emotive and the characters those you want to know and be with. Try listening to the music mentioned too because it's all part of Mary's truly delightful story. I loved the end. I really did and I applauded her myself.
The book, by the way, is illustrative of the most patriotic material I've read. The setting is of a North Yorkshire town. Manfred is a photographer who is just passing through on his way home to the Isle of Man. He doesn't go home because there is someone quite different there. Again, I came to love Mary England through my reading of this 'pre-digital' book.
It was a very sensitive mind who created this intensely living character. Thank you Mari. Anyway here is an excerpt;

Scenario: While serving a sentence in HM Prison, (for retaliating against an attacker) Mary has a visitor. Her only visitor:

Mary's visitor, had been Stephen Lewis. He'd told her that it was possible for her to be grateful and not resentful of where she was. Further, that the country was not the few who had tormented her years. Moreover, the country was proud of her too. She was to think of her place differently. She would study the history and geography of the nation that Stephen told her was the most beautiful place upon the Earth and befitting of her. Stephen Lewis was an aristocrat and was an upholder of the virtues which The Crown bestowed upon its citizens. She was to feel proud of herself and part of what was great, simply because he did...

Scenario; Manfred has begun taking Mary's photographs. They are standing on the street and it's well into the onset of evening:

Manfred placed his bag onto the cobbles and hurriedly began sorting for the appropriate camera and flash. He would take a series of shots and some without a flash because there was a light almost above her head and its glow was very bright. This was all there would be, Mary and the night light, nothing else.
When he was ready, he stood and studied her for a moment. There were peculiar 'wailing' sounds, whose carriage through the night air had immediately begun distracting him. There was no indication as to where they might be from, whether distant or near. She saw his distraction and smiled. "They're wild dogs," she told him. "They live on the moors. There's a tale, that if you leave a pair of shoes outside of your door with a purple handkerchief stuffed inside one, the dogs will come and take the handkerchief and whoever wears the shoes will become an unconformist."

Scenario; Mary has taken Manfred on a late evening walk upon the moors. They are standing in a circle of stones. This is the evening before Mary's statement intended to be made through Manfred's photographs. Want to know more?

She was holding his hand more tightly now as though she were afraid. What could she be afraid of? He was asking himself this question because there was also a fear erupting in her eyes. All he could surmise, if indeed his intuition were correct, was that she was afraid of most people. She was afraid because both she and those close to her were vastly different.
What would it be like to be loved by her? He'd asked himself this question because it was very significant. To be of her sensuality, to receive the feel of her body's loving closeness, the consummation? The question of who would enjoy her love was as the theme of the circle. Its patience and its trust was the theme expounded in everything. Whomever would be her heart's desire would be very special.
She still had hold of his hand when there was a movement across the space between the stones they were facing. It would be the dogs, her dogs.
