THE MAHOGANY POD
A Memoir of Endings and Beginnings
When in her early twenties, Jill Hopper fell in love with someone who had only a few months to live. The Mahogany Pod tells the story of that intense young relationship, and explores what it means to live, and love, fully.
What if you knew from the beginning how your relationship was going to end?
When Jill first met Arif, they were living in a shared house on the island of Osney in the River Thames. Surrounded by willow trees, birds and reflections, it was an idyllic home. But no sooner had they begun to fall in love than Arif was given the news that he had only a few months to live. Everyone told Jill to walk away, but she was already in too deep.
Years later, Jill rediscovers Arif's parting gift - an African seedpod - and finally sets out to trace the elusive patterns that shaped their relationship.
The Mahogany Pod is a tender and vital account of what it is to live, and love, fully.
Jill Hopper lives in London. As a member of the writers' collective 26 Characters she has written about black holes for the Bloomsbury Festival; about skylarks for the Wildlife Trusts; and about two brothers killed at the Battle of the Somme, for the Imperial War Museum's Armistice Centenary commemorations. She is also the founder of Imaginary Friends, an informal group for women writers.
