A reading from Ms Fitts Lament by Angela Fitt

The extract is read by Claudia Loveland.

“What am I doing in Cornwall

What am I doing down here

I’m ten years older than when I arrived and I’ve only been here a year

What am I doing in Cornwall

What on earth am I doing down here

I’m slow

And I’m dreary

And teary

And weary

And two hours drive from IKEA

And the man in my life simply loves it”

Ms Fitt’s Lament can be found in the short story collection Cornwall: Misfits, Curiosities and Legends.
