Voices
Sue Mayfield
Voices by Sue Mayfield is a story about love. Isabel Bright has just been dumped by her arrogant boyfriend. Her family goes on a holiday to the West Coast of Scotland where Isabel hopes to take her mind off things. One day, messing about on an empty beach with her sister Al, Isabel puts her name and address on a note in a bottle, hurling it far out to sea – not imagining anyone will find it. When she gets back home, Isabel throws herself into rehearsals for the school play: Shakespeare’s The Tempest – a play about islands, storms and love at first sight. As the lead, Miranda, Isabel is horrified to discover that Jamie has been cast as the Ferdinand, her lover and what’s more – he wants to get back with her. Then, out of the blue, a letter arrives from Duncan- a guy who has found her letter in the bottle and wants to be friends. The story follows Isabel making and breaking her friendships as she deals with the stress of the school play.
