Ivetha: An Airedale's Compendium

A largely forgotten and apparently ordinary street, Ivetha has a strange, unexpected effect upon the people who happen to encounter it. Mysterious coincidences, perplexing confrontations with misplaced memories, glimpses of distinctly different worlds which might coexist or commingle with our own, all emerge out of different character’s experiences with the street in ways they are each unable to anticipate or understand. The facts of these encounters are gathered in an unusual compendium, compiled over the course of years, by a surprising source. Through the use of emails, phone calls, text messages and chapters of a book, the strange nature of Ivetha emerges and a description of its effects are evoked. But how and why these effects occur is something that defies easy explanation. Is it a place people are drawn to when they are looking to change their lives without yet knowing it? Or could it be that everything that happens there is nothing in the end but happenstance, blind coincidence given a meaning it doesn’t have? Ivetha: An Airedale’s Compendium, is an evocative and literary work meant to confront and describe that which can’t be described: the ineffable, everyday forces which change people.
