Quick overview "When I finished Sara Baume's new novel I immediately felt sad that I could not send it in the post to the late John Berger. He, too, would have loved it and found great joy in its honesty, its agility, its beauty, its invention. Baume is a writer of outstanding grace and style. She writes beyond the time we live in." (Colum McCann). Struggling to cope with urban life - and with life in general - Frankie, a twenty-something artist, retreats to the rural bungalow on "Turbine hill" that has been vacant since her grandmother's death three years earlier. It is in this space, surrounded by nature, that she hopes to regain her footing in art and life.
€15.00

25-year-old Frankie is living in Dublin and working parttime
in a public gallery. Increasingly anxious, she abruptly
quits her bedsit to live in her deceased grandmother’s
creaking house in rural Ireland, close to her family.

With an artist’s gift for observation, Frankie recounts the beauty
and the obliteration of the world as the seasons change
around her, from roadkill to kitchen curios, all the while
struggling to understand her place in it.

This tour-de-force follow-up to Spill Simmer Falter
Wither is a celebration of the extraordinary in the every
day, and Baume’s prose elevates the ordinary and finds
inspiration in the strange.
