Colman

Join in the Final Adventures of the Wise Child, Juniper and Colman!After finishing Monica Furlong’s classics Wise Child and Juniper, readers hungered for more and were left wondering what would be next for these beloved characters. Colman unfolds the next part of their journey. Narrated by Wise Child’s cousin and loyal friend, Colman, it tells how Juniper and her companions return to Cornwall for sanctuary-only to find much has changed. Fourteen-years after publishing Juniper, Monica Furlong completed her trilogy with Colman, shortly before her death from cancer. It was worth the wait. Colman has burnished Furlough’s legacy as another quietly beautiful story portraying thoughtful, adventurous, caring, and brave characters who stand up to intolerance-just like their creator. While Furlong is best known in the U.S. for writing Wise Child and its sequels, in her native England she was a famous journalist, radio broadcaster, and social critic. She was an important activist in the successful campaign for the Church of England to ordain women as priests. A great read even if you haven’t read other books by Monica Furlong, Colman is must-reading for readers of Wise Child and Juniper.
