Summary
:
Centres on Grandma Kay (based on elder Kitty Smith) and the connection she forges with the village children through the oral tradition of their culture. Twelve-year-old Tish is one of those children - an introspective, talented girl who feels particularly drawn to Grandma Kay's kitchen. Here, past and present blend; myth and reality meet; and the metaphor of fire infuses all in a location that lies at the heart of the community's spiritual and cultural memory.
