      A twenty-something artist, Frankie is struggling to cope with urban life and life in general. So she retreats to her familys rural house on turbine hill, vacant since her grandmothers death three years earlier. Surrounded by countryside and wild creatures, she can finally grapple with the chain of events that led her hereher shaky mental health, her difficult time in art schooland maybe even regain her footing in art and life.

      Reconsidering the relevance of art and closely examining the natural world around her, Frankie begins to pick up photography once more. With prose that makes sure we look and listen, Sara Baume has written an intimate and powerful novel that is also a meditation on wildness, community, the art world, and mental illness (Atlantic).

      Fascinating, because of the cumulative power of the precise, pleasingly rhythmic sentences, and the unpredictable intelligence of the narrators mind. Guardian, UK

'When I finished Sara Baume's new novel I immediately felt sad that I could not send it in the post to the late John Berger. He, too, would have loved it and found great joy in its honesty, its agility, its beauty, its invention. Baume is a writer of outstanding grace and style. She writes beyond the time we live in.'
