PAPER DREAMS:
Take a recipe for DISASTER…
START with an illicit love affair in 1952 and add a painful parting.
Leave to settle until 2009. Add crumbling mansion, EPTON HALL which harbours a scandalous secret.
Gradually combine young librarian, Katie Nicholson - an incurable romantic trying to get over a failed love affair - with snippets of gossip following the death (intestate) of elderly owner MARJORIE HAPSWORTH-COLE: sprinkle a few daydreams, hundreds of books and stir until well mixed.
Carefully blend in a friendly housekeeper, some memorabilia, boredom and many books, with Katie’s weekend away, new boyfriend and a horrifically prophetic dream. Churn and leave to simmer.
Add suspense due to the secret arrival of sinister nephew HAROLD HAPSWORTH-COLE, only known heir to the estate. Throw in the evidence discovered by Katie in the attic, that another heir exists in Canada.
Combine fear, violence, and theft of that evidence with Katie’s imprisonment in the attic, Harold’s growing mental instability and stir…malevolently.
Leave the resultant mixture to merge: allow to simmer until truly understood.
Carefully throw in more evidence relating to past infidelities, the new heir to the estate and allow to simmer until truly understood.
The resultant mixture should be an explosion of financial expectations, inheritance, terror, greed and attempted murder.
Finally, add a pinch of misunderstanding, a flowering of happiness, a glorious wedding and a honeymoon peppered with exotic palm trees on a remote desert island.
ENJOY and inwardly digest…
To all, to each, a fair good-night,
And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light!
(Sir Walter Scott – 171-1832)
