The Tyranny of Lost Things, a tale which will resonate with the
millennial generation. Having dropped out of university, Harmony
returns to the site of the urban commune where she lived as a
child, now divided into flats. She rents a room in the hope of
uncovering the source of her nightmares about a redheaded woman who
haunts the house and, her obsession with lost objects from her
childhood. As the London riots explode in the streets, the two hot
summers converge, blurred by the drugs and sex and cheap wine, and
Harmony begins to discover what really happened at Longhope twenty
years ago. Can she grow up at last, and build her own future?
'What a rare gift Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett possesses: expansive
compassion, empathy and warmth, and a scalpel precision with words'
Emma Forrest 'A superbly written, special book' Olivia Sudjic
'Conjures a heady, terrifying time in beautiful detail' Nell
Frizzell When Rhiannon fell in love with, and eventually married
her flatmate, she imagined they might one day move on. But this is
London in the age of generation rent, and so they share their home
with a succession of friends and strangers while saving for a life
less makeshift. The desire for a baby is never far from the
surface, but can she be sure that she will ever be free of the
anxiety she has experienced since an attack in the street one
night? And after a childhood spent caring for her autistic brother,
does she really want to devote herself to motherhood? Moving
through the seasons over the course of lockdown, The Year of the
Cat nimbly charts the way a kitten called Mackerel walked into
Rhiannon's home and heart, and taught her to face down her fears
and appreciate quite how much love she had to offer.
