Description
A novel by Philip Hensher, Booker shortlisted author of The Northern Clemency. To Battersea Park is written in four parts and explores the strata and sediment of a single place and time. It shows what brings us together through love, clashes of desire, and the world's demands on us. Set in a large crowded city where strangers are forbidden to approach one another, this book examines humanity, imagination, and the love that emerges from acts of telling. An underground river is discovered, an urban grove of pomeloes appears, and the imagination reaches out to make sense of the world. The novel reveals what lies beneath the surface of a city, where seasonally wet pastures and woodlands meet the urban landscape. It is an electrifying work that explores the complexities of human connection in a crowded and often isolating environment.
