by Bernice Rubens (Author)
Bronwen's life has been tainted by her killing of a man who tried to rape her in the lane behind her parents' house. She tells nobody about the incident but her guilt manifests itself in the frequent nosebleeds she has at awkward moments. Fifty years later, she is still living her life sentence.
