Description

Fat Hen by Richard Francis is a poignant novel about the complexities of human life. In 1940s Stockport, an ordinary family's existence appears uneventful, but each character harbours secrets and dreams. As the story unfolds, a series of unexpected events reveals the intricate web of lives within the Willis family. A discovery made by one member enables him to create an alternative reality, while another finds herself experiencing something she cannot put into words. Meanwhile, a third character becomes increasingly absorbed in his passions, which ultimately play a part in his destiny. Through a complex narrative voice and unique perspective, Francis explores the almost magical significance of people seeking escape through their imaginings.
