Description

Kate Atkinson's second novel is a vivid and imaginative tale that explores the complexities of family, time, and identity. In 'Human Croquet', the author delves into the lives of the Fairfax family, whose history is inextricably linked to the mysterious forest of Lythe. The story follows Isobel Fairfax, a young woman who possesses a unique connection to the past, as she navigates her own life amidst the secrets and mysteries that surround her family's history. With its richly detailed prose and subtle blend of humor and danger, 'Human Croquet' is a thought-provoking and engaging read. Through Isobel's story, Atkinson masterfully weaves together themes of love, loss, and belonging, creating a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
