Beschreibung

<p><b>Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR, <i>The Guardian, </i><i>The Observer</i>, <i>Financial Times, Daily Mail, </i><i>The Independent, </i>and the Chicago Public Library</b> • <b>From the twice-Booker-nominated writer of <i>Burntcoat</i>, a bold and astonishing literary masterpiece that explores faith, connection, and our relationship to the natural world.</b></p><p><b>"A moving, urgent novel.”</b><br><i><b>—The New York Times Book Review</b></i></p><p>Helm is a ferocious, mischievous wind — a subject of folklore and awe, part-elemental god, part-aerial demon blasting through the sublime landscape of Northern England since the dawn of time.</p><p>Through the stories of those who’ve obsessed over Helm, an extraordinary history is formed: the Neolithic tribe who tried to placate Helm, the Dark Age wizard priest who wanted to banish Helm, the Victorian steam engineer who attempted to capture Helm — and the farmer’s daughter who fiercely loved Helm. But now Dr. Selima Sutar, surrounded by infinite clouds and measuring instruments in her observation hut, fears human pollution is killing Helm.</p><p>Rich, wild, and vital, <i>Helm </i>is the story of a singular life force, and of the relationship between nature and people, neither of whom can weather life without the other.</p>
