Ageing fast, and with the time they have together more fragile by the day, they arrive at a desperate decision. Word of this reaches Anest's daughter Menna, who rushes to her long abandoned childhood home where her own ideas of love and compromise are tested to the limit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn spite of the sombre themes of death and bereavement, the writing is light, textured and at times very funny: picking out moments of joy and sadness with seemingly effortless grace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTouching relationships and believable characterisation provide a poignant backdrop to \u003ci\u003eSalt, Root and Roe\u003c\/i\u003e, where pragmatism, exhausted lives and childrens' fairytales collide in this exploration of grief, loss and acceptance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTim Price \u003c\/b\u003eis a former journalist from the South Wales valleys.
