YOUR BLUE-EYED BOY

Past indiscretions burden judge Simone as she balances a chaotic daily existence. With a quiet intensity, narrator Jenny Agutter discloses indulgences from Simone's youth. She asserts the panic, uncertainty and vulnerability of Simone's emotions as Michael reenters her life after twenty years. The course of the narrative is maintained as the story alternates from the past to the present and back again several times. The spoken-word resounds with the meditative qualities of the novel.
