| Description: |
In the small rural town of Featherstone there is something unsettling, intense and intimate that goes deep into the lives of the people who live there and bares their hearts. This is a novel about memory and need, forgetting and faith - and about the ways we deceive and believe in one another. |
| Synopsis: |
Featherstone: an attractive, small rural town serving outlying estates, bank, post office, school...At first glance, Kirsty Gunn's small country town is like any other - a closely connected community bound by habit and familiarity. Yet as we're invited to spend the weekend in Featherstone we come to realise there's something more to this place that unsettles us, something intense and intimate that goes deep into the lives of the people who live here and bares open their hearts...Featherstone is a novel about memory and need, forgetting and faith, a story of people - of their hopes and faiths and disappointments, of desire and the way desire can go rotten inside - but above all it offers an insight to the ways in which all of us deceive and believe in one another, in how we love. |
