Description

The Mother’s Day Bundle includes Loot by Tania James, By the River: Essays From The Water’s Edge and a Mother’s Day Card.

Tania James’ Loot is a spellbinding historical novel set in 18th century Mysore, India where 17 year old Abbas has been apprenticed to a master clockmaker and tasked to create a musical tiger to entertain the Tipu Sultan’s children. What follows, amidst a British asault, is a dazzlingy inventive feat of storytelling.

Twelve writers consider the subject of rivers and how they shape us throughout our lives, demarcating cities as well as moulding our creative consciousness. Tessa Hadley revisits Rumer Godden’s The River; Jo Hamya pays homage to Virginia Woolf; Michael Malay goes nightfishing for eels by the river Severn; and Marchelle Farrell revisits the tropical waterfalls of her childhood home in Trinidad. Tender and astute, By the River explores the cultural, social and psychological significance of the rivers that run through our societies and our minds, bringing together these twelve contemporary writers in a celebration of water and its transformative qualities.

The book bundle comes beautifully wrapped in brown craft paper and a green Daunt Books ribbon and the choice of a Mother’s Day card, making it a perfect gift.
