Sinopsis

From the acclaimed author of Thin Places, a luminous day book about an unexpected year and finding home.

Two days after the winter solstice in 2019, Kerri and her partner moved to a remote cottage in the heart of Ireland. They were looking for a home, somewhere to settle into a stable life. Then the pandemic arrived and their secluded abode became a place of enforced isolation. What was meant to be the beginning of an enriching new chapter was instead marked by uncertainty and fear. The seasons still passed, the swallows returned, the rhythms of the natural world went on, but in many ways 2020 was unlike any year we had seen before. And for Kerri there would be one more change: a baby, longed for but utterly, beautifully unexpected.

Intensely lyrical, fragmentary in subject and form, Cacophony of Bone is an ode to a year, a place, and a love that transformed a life. When the pandemic came, time seemed to shapeshift; in Kerri's elegant...


Reseñas Varias sobre este libro



First thing I did was look up the definition of cacophony. It essentially means a harsh mixture of sounds. I was intrigued where this title would take me…

Second thing I did was buy the book lol! I had actually borrowed this one from the library but by the time I had read to page 16, I was so in love with it I HAD TO OWN IT. That is the first time I have ever done that and I have read a lot of good library books but this one has something special about it - I needed it in my home.

The plot is a collage of beautiful, yet chronological, moments Kerri shares with us as her and her parter, M, move to a one room stone railway cottage in the heart of Ireland. They want a home…what is home? Kerri explores…a verb…a noun…somewhere to stay put.

Kerri shares with us the most raw and mystical journey of a year, a place and a love that changes her life forever….

The prose are written in such a way that it is almost a mixture of Kerri’s personal daily diary and sections of incredibly beautiful poetry. It is without a doubt one of the top 5 books I have ever read!

I could quote almost every page because this is the type of book where every WORD matters. Every word is a new and interesting story all of its self. Because of that it took me a little longer than normal to get through because I didn’t want to miss a thing of this hypnotising beauty.
