Description
Pond is a deeply unsettling and intimately familiar tale of a woman's life on the cusp of a coastal town. Her relationship with the world around her becomes boundless and increasingly bewildering as she navigates the pitfalls and pleasures of solitude.
Through a series of stories that are both darkly funny and deeply moving, Claire-Louise Bennett brings to life a world that is both familiar and strange. The physical world depicted in these stories is full of unsettling beauty, from broken bowls to swanky aubergines, and is woven together with a sense of wonder and unease.
This striking first collection slips effortlessly between worlds, revealing a woman who is both captivated by the charms of seclusion and restless with desire. With its unique blend of darkness and humour, Pond is a compelling and unsettling read.
