AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'"Vinegar, in Grahame Cooper's words, 'is a story of love, hate, fear, retribution, evil and forgiveness, Mimicking the heartbeat of the desperate, the footfalls of the fugitive and the last gasps of the dying. ‘When love and hate burn so intensely, it is inevitable that they will extinguish and the only thing that remains is hope."'
During its conception, writing and painstaking editing, much of the initial work was discarded, leaving only a few key words or phrases to encapsulate the soul of the meaning. Together with the use of repetition, the beat and rhythm of the resulting prose intensifies and drives the story on.
