The Story of Philippa and Aurélie
Jeannine Allard
Philippa came from a proper convent where her passion was all about God, swirling up through the stained glass windows on spirals of incense. Aurélie came from a wild world where the words of the ancient druids were still whispered on the wind. When Philippa followed her dream and left the convent for the sea, it was Aurélie’s wild world that trapped her and sent her swirling to its depths, only to be saved by an unforeseen twist of fate.
The two women met at that intersection of their lives, and to their own astonishment fell in love with each other. But lesbian couples could not live in their world, so Philippa became Philippe, and they married and even adopted and raised a daughter, Mimi.
Their story is told, alternately, in the three womens’ voices, a story that understands and mourns hatred and prejudice, but which also affirms the love and caring and commitment that can transcend even violence and death.
