Ann Lingard

4.9/5 (32935 ratings)

Description:People, flowers, memories: how do we preserve the past? Set in Cumbria's Lake District, the shifting mosaic of the narrative explores life, love and prejudice through three very different women: Ruth, a taxidermist; Madeleine, a widowed sheep-farmer; and Lisa, an achondroplasic mathematician. As Lisa is drawn into the group it becomes clear that the other women have strange secrets. This is a story about harsh decisions: eugenics in the post-genomic age; the politics of marginalising people and communities; the desperate responses to Foot & Mouth Disease; and, the illogicality of human love.But these are offset by the warmth and humour of the rural community to which the women are bound.'An intriguing novel in a haunting setting, rich in texture, humorous and concerned, raising important questions about science and our relation to the natural world, to the individuals we know and to the communities we live in. A lovely book' - Jenny Uglow. ‘A charming, intelligent and engrossing book, with enough dark heart to drag it away from the domain of standard female fiction fare and into much more engaging territory. I found myself drawn in by the delicate prose and fascinating descriptions … an engrossing and enjoyable read.' LabLit.com'A rich, absorbing, intriguing novel ... All of (the characters) felt like real people, whom I would want to know.' Oxford Times'Ann Lingard skilfully weaves a handful of lives together ... This engrossing and unusual tale is a scientific window on the soul.' New ScientistWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
