Description for The Quiet Woman
Paperback. A chilling tale of a dystopian Britain and a woman lost in memories of the past from an ARTHUR C. CLARKE and JOHN W. CAMPBELL AWARD-winning author. Num Pages: 240 pages. BIC Classification: FL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 200 x 130 x 20. Weight in Grams: 228.
THE QUIET WOMAN stitches together a horrifyingly plausable near-future dystopian Britain and a typically Priestian account of an individual lost in the blurred boundaries between the real and the imagined. It is a novel that bears comparison with the work of Kazuo Ishiguro and A.S. Byatt as well as that of John Wyndham.
In a country that has lost its way memories of past lives are distracting Alice Stockton. Living alone after the break up of her marriage she makes a precarious living as a biographer yet finds herself powerfully and inexplicably influenced by the lives of others.
