Beskrivelse
Set in a post-Brexit, mid-pandemic Britain, this novel follows artist Sandy Gray as she receives a puzzling call from an old university friend. The story weaves between present-day challenges and a distant medieval past, exploring themes of history and identity.
A captivating journey through time, history, and human connection.
From the Booker-shortlisted author of How to be both and the acclaimed Seasonal quartet, Ali Smith delivers another compelling novel. One day, Sandy Gray gets an unexpected call from Martina Pelf, who has just been inexplicably detained by border control officials. Martina’s haunting question, "Curlew or curfew? You choose.", sets the tone for a story that stretches beyond the immediate moment.
The narrative links this modern mystery to the tale of a young, gifted blacksmith who was driven from her craft and home over five centuries ago. Ali Smith’s novel gracefully moves between the fragmented present and a distant medieval era, inviting readers to unlock their own barriers and embrace other times, species, histories, and possibilities.
