A Compelling Tale of Wisdom & Transformation for Current Times and Beyond 'The Earth Changes' by Anne Fallas
HOW can a group of intriguing characters, each complex in their own uniquely human, spirited way, create a community that endures - despite confusion and radical changes in their personal and romantic lives, their environment, their social and economic systems?
Will they spot the ominous signs of impending disaster in time and take action to escape and survive?
- (1888PressRelease) April 15, 2012 - "This is a very rare animal, an eco-novel written well… I read it cover to cover and enjoyed its style and structure and I didn't find it obvious or preachy. Worth seeking out."
Maddy Harland, Editor, Permaculture Magazine
'I realised when I was young that I was living in an unstable world,' Charlie shrugged. 'I didn't and I still don't, want to depend on a society I can't trust.' Chapter 13, 'The Earth Changes'
When author Anne Fallas found herself with a long-term illness, a great boost to her recovery came with the appearance of a set of fascinating people parading through her imagination and demanding that she tell their story. Transported and transfixed, Anne lovingly wove events together and created a cast of characters constantly learning from their evolving relationships, their successes and failures, their ambitions and desires, and their varying ability to cope with change. As time went by their exploits grew bolder, their beliefs more profound, and their lives intertwined deeply physically and emotionally.
"Anne's vision, her message, her story is powerful, delivered through compelling characters, excellent prose and vivid descriptions." Christine Miller, MA FRSA, Author, Poet, Editor - Your Ultimate Resource
Living in rural France (just like Anne herself, although they could really be anywhere in the world) this richly varied mix enact their dramas and unfold their personalities as they aim to lead more self-sufficient lives respectful of their environment and individuality. Anne passes on this gift of insight into alternative, collaborative ways of living, such as permaculture and sustainable growth, which are becoming more critical to the survival of the human race as we face chaos and revolution on a global scale. The physical events and characters are really a metaphor for the spiritual changes taking place. Her message is optimistic and realistic, down to earth and inspiring, laced with real human dilemmas and tragedies, joys and triumphs, love, life, sex, death and ultimately - hope and enduring spirit.
"The memory of that first night together… came flooding back. She recalled how gently he had made love to her, how he had opened her eyes and how she had seen his soul...
…Everything then clicked into perspective, those moments were the precious moments. They were the moments when time, rush and hurry all moved aside and allowed the true nature of things to emerge. She then realised that joy and love lived at the root of the true nature of all things and that nothing else really mattered." Chapter 15, 'The Earth Changes'
Anne's book raises important questions such as:
• How do sustainable communities really work?
• Can sharing, collaboration and compassion overcome greed, consumerism and self-interest?
• Will people support each other through tragedy and turmoil?
• Are we really thinking about and sensitive to the changes that are taking place around us, preparing for evolution and new ways of living?
"I realised that Anne was simply telling things the way I had tried to earlier…There's a tide coming... She'll be washing away the Past!" Tim Blake, Composer, Performer, Sound & Light Artist, Hawkwind, Crystal Machine

"The old rules and confines of man were being replaced by an order that was natural, pure and whole. It had no limits. It was linked to and by the waves of celestial thought. This was truth radiating and illuminating itself…Those moments of deep silence contained the blueprint of the present and they contained the passage into the future." Epilogue, 'The Earth Changes'
