Only a Signal Shown
Garry and Matthew, of HMP Grendon, review a new novel by Leela Dutt
Garnishing a love story and the lives of the characters within it with some personal experiences, Leela Dutt’s Only a Signal Shown is an enjoyable, emotional journey. This journey starts with a burnt marmalade-basted chicken. Eleanor and Alec share the results of his limited cooking skills and both find themselves comfortable in each other’s company. This was in the early 1970s. Alec is the traditional character and Eleanor more liberal minded and independent. This is emphasised by Eleanor’s response to Alec’s proposal of marriage in which she states her desire to travel first to Rome and then see where life takes her.
