Wondrous Flitting

Mark Thomson

Sam needed a miracle. For his sins he got one! In Loreto there's a Holy House – a divine and wondrously flitting house. A vessel for the holy. Now it's in Sam's house. And Sam can't figure it. It's not every day a miracle happens and your house becomes the vessel that contains the vessel that contained Mary (as in Mary, the vessel that contained our Lord). This symbol of faith and transformation comes crashing into contemporary Scotland as Sam races through 24 hours of trapped parents, girlfriends and dentists to find meaning in this darkly comic odyssey. A black comedy about a clash of worlds, Wondrous Flitting is inspired by a chapter in Ed Hollis's The Secret Lives of Buildings .
