We are delighted to be able to offer x10 sets of 10 paperbacks for one of the most beautifully written debuts of last year: Larchfield by Polly Clark. We would love if reading groups are able to share their reviews of the book after reading.
About the book
It’s early summer when a young poet, Dora Fielding, moves to Helensburgh on the west coast of Scotland and her hopes are first challenged. Newly married, pregnant, she’s excited by the prospect of a life that combines family and creativity. She thinks she knows what being a person, a wife, a mother, means. She is soon shown that she is wrong. As the battle begins for her very sense of self, Dora comes to find the realities of small town life suffocating, and, eventually, terrifying; until she finds a way to escape reality altogether.
