Episode 3
Janet Killeen reads the third story from her collection of short stories 'There Is A Season'.
Coincidences of time and place, encounters with strangers and life-changing moments of decision are the key elements of these stories.
Many are deeply rooted in the intersection of moment, person and landscape. Some explore the impact of controlling relationships, and the possibility of escape. Others, the overshadowing of two World Wars and the social dislocation that was, and perhaps still is, their legacy. The past impregnates the present, and from the past characters draw resources of hope and courage. This is the Season of opportunity that is given to them, when they may truly discover themselves.
