Dorothea Shaw is 71 years old and nearly blind, and she chooses to live alone far away from people in Blize. Her home is at Gales Point, a small village which can be reached only by sea or air: after a 500-meter walk into the hills one finally reaches a piece of land and two small houses. They are so hidden in the thick over-grown forest that only a few people know Dorothea is there.
She lives happily growing her vegetables, looking after her trees and dogs, cats and chicken. About once a month or so an old friend passes by with her food and letters from her sisters and some bits of clothing from friends in Canada. Sometimes a worker who lives not far will come and cut wood for her and a group of British soldiers will come across her and be greeted with the offer of a cup of coffee.
At night she lies in her small sleeping room with the dogs on the floor, the cats on the table and one of the hens in a corner of the room and listens for hours to some news over the radio. Sometimes she feels lonely but most of the time the radio is her friend.
But recently the very things she tried to get free from so well have begun to catch up with her. The peace of the forest has been destroyed by the noise of earthmoving machines that are not many miles away. The new north-south road cuts through the forest only four or five miles away. “Now more and more people know I’m here,” she said. “I feel more and more uneasy each day.”
