This house has been a regular presence in my life for as long as I
can remember. My heart has sunk a little every time I walk in . . .
Samantha Clark enjoyed a busy career as an artist before returning
home to Glasgow to take care of the house that her parents had left
behind. Moving from room to room, sifting through the clutter of
belongings, reflecting on her mother's long, sedated years of
mental illness and her father's retreat to the world of amateur
radio and model planes, Samantha began to contemplate her
inheritance. A need for creativity and a desire for solitude had
sprung up from a childhood shaped by anxiety and confusion. Weaving
in the works and lives of others, including celebrated painter
Agnes Martin and scientist of dark matter Vera Rubin, The Clearing
is a powerful account of what we must do with the things we cannot
know. 'Samantha Clark writes on the subtle edge of words and
thought. She renders the world within and the world of ideas with
electric sensitivity and acute intelligence' Jay Griffiths
