Katie Donovan

Broschiertes Buch

May Swim

Beschreibung

By turns lyrical and sardonic, this new collection from Katie Donovan is characteristically watery â candid and uncompromising in its refusal to inhabit the safer reaches of the shore. Themes of loss, widowhood and ageing co-exist with observations of her wild garden and its inhabitants, including a mangy fox she helps to survive.
