About Broken Crockery -
The villagers in the district are all talking about the recent murder in their small community
To take their minds off of things, local artist Simon and his wife Arabella decide to throw a dinner party and invite two other couples - their new neighbours Kyle and Deni, plus friends Ashley and Susanne. They also invite Jacqueline, a woman who moved into the area some months ago following a divorce, and their single friend Huw, with a spot of matchmaking in mind.
As the party progresses and the drink flows, the conversation develops and eventually, becomes very heated. It brings out not only strongly differing political and world viewpoints, but many darker undercurrents, both between the individual characters and within the relationships of the couples involved.
There is no such thing as a ‘free’ dinner however, and as the evening ends in a way none of those present could have possibly predicted, the consequences that flow from this one social event will change the lives of most who attend forever. It will also unearth something long hidden - something that can come back to bite - hard!
Always in the background too is the brooding [if outwardly jovial] character of Old Geraint. When not on the beach with his dog Buster, he is usually to be found in his ramshackle cottage where, since the murder, he has been ‘befriended’ by a very special cat who is now orphaned, and who seems to be able to communicate with Geraint on some very unusual levels.
He sits sentinel with Geraint in the evening, as he writes up his journal in a scruffy old notebook - all that he has seen, heard, understood or just surmised of each day’s events. Geraint’s journal will have lasting effects!
