Beschreibung

<p>'Satisfyingly detailed and juicy... an utter treat' <b>Amy Liptrot</b></p><p>'Friendship, love and a gorgeous old house. A beautiful story beautifully told. I loved inhabiting <i>The Wreck' </i><b>Jessica Stanley</b></p><p><b>Two couples pursue their dream of communal living in the English countryside - and then it all comes tumbling down</b></p><p>Charlotte and Francesca were best friends at university in the mid-1970s. But tensions coursed beneath their natural affection, deepening when Fran got together with Charlotte's friend Adrian, and the two women drifted apart.</p><p>When Fran contacts Charlotte out of the blue with an unusual proposal - an invitation to live with her and Adrian in the rambling house they've bought in the countryside - Charlotte impulsively persuades her partner, Bill, to accept this tantalising promise of a new kind of community.</p><p>At first their new life feels utopian; life and space are shared joyfully. But it doesn't take long for old tensions to rise to the surface, shattering their illusions and showing each of them in a new light.</p><p><i>The Wreck</i> is a glorious genre-defying illustrated novel about the messy tangle of love, envy and desire that underpins our most precious relationships, and the difficult paths we must take to discover our true selves.</p><p>'I fell hopelessly in love with <i>The Wreck</i>... A beautiful, funny, clever, insightful book' <b>Lisa Owens</b></p><p>'A one-of-a-kind novel. I adored every page of it' <b>Ana Kinsella</b></p><p>'A tender and wise portrait of love and friendship' <b> Chloë Ashby</b></p>
