A devastating story told with the anarchy, the humour and the enchantment Max Porter's readers will recognise from Grief Is the Thing with Feathers.
The author of "Grief Is The Thing With Feathers" presents in this new novel a village outside London where lives of the present and lives that played out there hundreds of years ago interweave. Dead Papa Toothwort awakes from his slumber and is vigilant of these characters - searching intently for his favourite, a boy called Lanny.
