WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE FEATURED ON BBC'S BETWEEN THE COVERS
BOOK CLUB Penelope Fitzgerald's Booker Prize-winning novel of
loneliness and connecting is set among the houseboat community of
the Thames, with an introduction from Alan Hollinghurst. On
Battersea Reach, a mixed bag of the temporarily lost and the
patently eccentric live on houseboats, rising and falling with the
tide of the Thames. There is good-natured Maurice, by occupation a
male prostitute, by chance a receiver of stolen goods. And Richard,
an ex-navy man whose boat, much like its owner, dominates the
Reach. Then there is Nenna, an abandoned wife and mother of two
young girls running wild on the muddy foreshore, whose domestic
predicament, as it deepens, will draw this disparate community
together.
