The Perfidy of Aunt Elvira

Adrienne Nash

Devastated by the death of his entire family in a house fire, nine-year-old Jamie, is sent to live with his aunt, Elvira, her partner, Samantha, and Jamie's two cousins, Caitlyn and Lili. Immersed in a rural, isolated, all-female world, Jamie begins to dress and ultimately, behave, like a girl. But as he beings to grow up, Jamie begins to question firstly his own feelings and secondly those of the family that surrounds him. He starts to wonder about his past and whether his desire to be a girl was something he had always felt or something that had developed in the matriarchy in which he now lives, and what the motives of his strangely distant aunt really are.
In Secrets and Lies, Adrienne May writes from the heart about one young person's difficult, yet ultimately uplifting, journey of acceptance and self-discovery.

ABOUT ADRIENNE NASH


Adrienne Nash lives in Norfolk. She was just 21 years old when she was sent to Sierra Leone where she was employed by a bank. For four years she was a bank manager, in the far-flung branches, saw illicit diamond mining and trading, dealt with rascally Lebanese traders and suffered diseases, dengue fever, septicaemia, snakes and rats. She returned to the UK and worked first for a multi-national food company, as a bar manager and lastly as a civil servant. She lives in North Norfolk with her cat Milly, She has given up paragliding, wind-surfing and skiing now she is over eighty, because as she says, she has lost her ‘bounce-ability'.
