The Cloths Of Heaven
Sue Eckstein's dramatisation of her own novel
Broadcast Monday 15 to Friday 19 March 2010 (Woman's Hour Drama)
British diplomat Daniel Maddison on his first posting to West Africa, finds himself rebelling against the traditional round of ex-pat cocktail parties, golf and gossip.
As Daniel Maddison wanders the street markets of a town in West Africa, he sees a woman he knew five years before when he was a student at Oxford. But when he approaches her, she denies ever knowing him.
A poem by WB Yeats holds the key to this unexpected encounter.
