From the author of STILL LIFE, TIN MAN and WHEN GOD WAS A RABBIT.
'Will stand the test of time' Irish Examiner 'Beautiful prose that
ebbs and flows' Independent 'A Year of Marvellous Ways is like
Dylan Thomas given a sexy rewrite by Angela Carter' Patrick Gale
This is a story about Marvellous Ways, an eighty-nine-year-old
woman who lives alone in a remote Cornish creek, spending her days
sitting by the river, peering through a telescope. And it's about
Francis Drake, a young soldier who washes up in her creek,
shattered by war and broken-hearted. It's about the magic in
everyday life and the lure of the sea, the healing powers of
storytelling and sloe gin, love and death, and how we carry on when
grief comes snapping at our heels.
