Bright Travellers

Beschreibung

Winner of the 2015 Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, this title shows the author's fascination with human experience. It explores the shared human continuum of bodily longing - from the Prehistoric maker of a wooden fertility fetish, to a modern-day couple wading through summer pollen - and the timeless cycles of conception, birth and child-rearing.
