Dr. Brenda Page was a Scottish author and academic whose life was tragically cut short in 1978 when she was murdered in her home in Aberdeen. A prominent figure in the literary and academic communities, Page was known for her contributions to literature and her work in education. Her untimely death shocked the community and left many of her works and potential contributions unfulfilled. For nearly 45 years, her murder remained unsolved, casting a long shadow over her legacy. In March 2023, her former husband, Christopher Harrisson, was convicted of the crime, bringing a long-awaited resolution to a case that had lingered in the public consciousness for decades. Despite the tragedy of her death, Brenda Page's literary contributions and the circumstances surrounding her life and murder continue to resonate, highlighting the complexities of her existence as both a writer and a victim.
“The sound of shuffling pages filled the room like a delicate rainstorm falling on dried leaves.””
“We talk of literature as if it were a mere matter of rule and measurement, a series of processes long since brought to mechanical perfection: but it would be less incorrect to say that it all lies in the future; tried by the outdoor standard, there is as yet no literature, but only glimpses and guideboards; no writer has yet succeeded in sustaining, through more than some single occasional sentence, that fresh and perfect charm. If by the training of a lifetime one could succeed in producing one continuous page of perfect cadence, it would be a life well spent, and such a literary artist would fall short of Nature’s standard in quantity only, not in quality.””
“Henny started to check things over”
