Description
Willowman is a novel that weaves together the magic of cricket with the complexities of family and identity. In this beautifully crafted story, a young batter's meteoric rise to fame is matched only by the transformation of his batmaker, who finds new purpose in crafting the perfect piece of willow.
As the seasons pass and the game ebbs and flows, Allan Reader's workshop becomes a place of hope and renewal. But when tragedy strikes, can his fledgling renaissance carry on? This is a story about the power of craft, music, and love to transcend even the most difficult challenges.
A poignant and engaging novel that explores the intricate relationships between people, places, and objects, Willowman is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves cricket, family stories, or simply great storytelling.
