looking for doris

barbara brown

A magical, haunting journey, a pilgrimage in contemporary times, through sexuality, spirituality. old age and death.


Ellie Rose, fifty years old and living in London, radically changes her life. She leaves the sexy Guido, and turns within, as did hermits of old. This is a love story, a quest, as in Rumi's poetry where he talks of his adoration of his wild spiritual teacher Shams. By following her yearning and her longing, something starts to happen to Ellie's life. Unusual people and events enter the space Ellie has opened up and she is taken through experiences she hadn't bargained for. The transcendent becomes implicit in the everyday; the everyday becomes noteworthy, on a microcosmic level. Read on...!

John Ive just started reading your book and it's delightful. easy reading, moves fast, humorous, quirky...you really get the sense of dread and boredom behind the desk, and the instant conversion to inuit through having his wife as a breeder had me smiling broadly. a lovely touch. only one comment -... view book
