préface Jane Mann
Each of the four villages of the Cote Vermeille has its own character, its own season, its own element. Into each environment arrives a stranger, alone and unattached. A splash of water, smoldering ashes, an aromatic oil, or a childhood melody works on the characters and brings them to the edge of a new understanding. As each character discovers his village, he learns something about himself. The transformation is sometimes long and painful, sometimes as imperceptible as a breath of air.
Ellen Turner Hall grew up in Mt Vernon, New York in a home full of music and stories. After studying English at UCLA and Linguistics at Hunter College, she taught in various international schools in England, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and Switzerland.
Along the way she picked up a rag-bag of languages like a singer exploring different voices. Côte Vermeille Stories is a love letter to her adopted home.
