The author of the award-winning Spill Simmer Falter Wither comes back with a stunning new novel about a young artist's seek out meaning and healing in rural Ireland. Battling to cope with urban life - and life generally - Frankie, a 20-something designer, retreats to her family's rural house on "turbine hill", vacant since her grandmother's loss of life three years previously. It is in this space, bounded by countryside and crazy creatures, that she can finally grapple with the chain of happenings that led her here - her shaky mental health, her difficult amount of time in art college - and perhaps, just maybe, restore her footing in fine art and life. As Frankie picks up photography once again, closely analyzing the natural world around her, she reconsiders seminal works of art and their relevance. With "prose that makes sure we look and pay attention" (Atlantic), Sara Baume has written an elegant novel that is as much an exploration of wildness, the fine art world, mental disorder, and community as it is a profoundly beautiful and powerful deep breathing on life.
