Beskrivelse af Where the Butterflies Rest
Dr Tom Andrews has become somewhat disillusioned with his life in the Health Service, when a face from his past (Rosie) surfaces in his consulting room. A subsequent sexual scandal leads Tom and Rosie to leave everything behind and move to the South of Spain. Tom becomes driven by a mystical experience and a series of strange encounters. He is convinced that he is being directed to rebuild the crumbling dream of a long dead Spanish doctor.Tom has always felt that a carved wooden butterfly inherited from an ancestor is more than just an ornament, but he gradually learns that in some way his past ties him to his future and that butterflies are at the centre of it all. At the same time, Rosie's past also determines her future but in a way that Tom could never have imagined.Their relationship gradually goes into decline as Rosie's past catches up with her and she can no longer hold back her ghosts. Her life with Tom is based on a lie and she sees only one solution.Destiny and coincidence gradually become indistinguishable: a chance meeting, a passionate affair, a crazy idea or a seemingly random decision all seem to push them further in one direction. Their story takes us from the rolling farmlands of the English Midlands to the rocky mountains of Secret Andalucía; from the rational world of traditional medicine to inexplicable mystical forces where love and loss, envy and jealousy, truth and lies, even life and death all seem to be necessary parts of a greater plan.The story is Tom's gift to Rosie. It is humorous, sad, tense, happy, mysterious; where the future is an unknown destination in the pursuit of happiness and peace.
