The last in this sequence of our account of our sister’s illness

scan20044

In part four of this account we stated that ‘He’ (Jim Perrin) ‘had left her to die alone’.

Horrific as that sounds we have tried — really tried, to find an explanation for his actions. If he had previously thought, as we all did (and as he had actually told us, after he had left the hospital on the eve of her death) that Jac ‘was a little better tonight’ — why — and here is the glaring anomaly, did he say in both his article ‘Touching the Void’, (this title is plagiarised from a book by Joe Simpson), and in his book West — that he actually knew then that our sister was dying? — and certainly, by the use of subtlety and actual sophistry, in words and phrasing, give the reader to believe that he was with her; both during that last period of time and right up to and including the moment of her death? (actually just before a quarter past midday, not ‘about 11.00 am’ as he wrote). Continue reading →

Our Amazon review

Jac’s sisters believe that Jim Perrin wrote his book West: A Journey Through the Landscapes of Loss,  on at least one dishonest premise — that is, his relationship with our sister Jac (Jacquetta). He claimed, falsely as we can prove, that she was his ‘lover, wife and friend of forty years’, and we in our posts ‘Jacssisters’ are explaining how things really were. Please do read it if you wish to discover the truth about Jim Perrin’s relationship with our sister.

He (we believe disingenuously) wrote this account as one part of his ‘triad of tragedy’ as he put it, referring to the death of his son, the death of our sister, and his diagnosis of terminal illness. However, it has now come to light, and we have learned, that another part of his ‘triad’ is in doubt. We are relieved to hear that Jim Perrin has had to admit that he is NOT as he told his readers and interviewers, dying of terminal lung cancer. Continue reading →

Jim Perrin writes libellously?

brolly

‘A previous man in her life had beaten her savagely about the head, and her corrective balance was gone.’  ref. p.18 of West.

This is not only an arrant lie, but in our sister’s case the medical ‘fact’ is also ridiculous nonsense. But the description is a typical example of Jim Perrin’s ability to libel people so carefully that hopefully he will not be caught out.  He has learned the hard way about the laws of libel and has, to his cost, fallen foul of them. Nowadays he uses a system he has devised, a system — ‘libelling libel-lessly’ — by which, with apparent impunity, he can traduce anyone he chooses; those of whom he is inordinately jealous, ref. p.74 of West, those who have crossed him — hurt his amour-propre; those who are in any way thought to be an inconvenient obstacle to his ‘imagined’ truth.  He sharpens his little knife and uses it with all his verbal dexterity.

He is well aware, in his ‘cleverness’, that many of his readers will know to whom he refers and he has used this ‘system’ on several occasions to insult our family and friends — in his latest book, for one.

In his description of our sister’s accident, it can be seen that he refers to two other incidents — both before and afterwards thus, to a degree, lessening any responsibility he may have had. Of course Jac told us of this accident and described to us what had happened.  She was, as she explained, outside with a glass of wine in one hand and a cigarette in the other, when slipping on a loose boulder she missed her footing and fell badly onto her left side; the pain was excruciating.

Without doubt this injury to her ribs was extremely serious, and for months she was in terrible pain.
