Becoming Butterfly

Winter, 1966. Young Jane is swept into her first romance within the close-knit Quaker community of Westbridge. Peter Greenway, gentle and devout, seems the perfect match - until the changing tides of sixties Britain awaken Jane's yearning for freedom.As protests over social norms erupt across the country, Jane finds herself torn between duty and desire. A spontaneous act at a peace rally leads her to Tom Harrison, a rough-edged pacifist whose presence challenges everything she thought she wanted, and what begins as friendship soon grows into something more complicated.Decades later, a chance encounter reignites long-dormant emotions and forces Jane to come to terms with the life she's lived, the one she left behind, and the woman she still hopes to become.A historical saga spanning generations and continents, Sue Parritt's BECOMING BUTTERFLY is an exploration of identity, love, and liberation. Originally from England, Sue worked after graduating (B.A. University of Queensland, majors in English Literature, Drama and French) in university libraries until taking early retirement in 2008 to concentrate on creative writing.Her current project is a seventh novel. 'A Question of Country,' explores the migrant experience through the female protagonist's lifelong search for meaningful identity.
