In BOLT FROM THE BLUE, Jeremy Cooper, the winner of the 2018 Fitzcarraldo Editions Novel Prize, charts the relationshipbetween a mother and daughter over the course of thirty-odd years. In October 1985, Lynn moves down to Londonto enroll at Saint Martin' s School of Art, leaving her mother behind in a suburb of Birmingham. Their relationship iscomplicated, and their only form of contact is through the letters, postcards and emails they send each other periodically,while Lynn slowly makes her mark on the London art scene. A novel in epistolary form, BOLT FROM THE BLUE captures thewaxing and waning of the mother-daugher relationship over time, achieving a rare depth of feeling with a deceptivelysimple literary form.
' Not only does ASH BEFORE OAK contain some of the most immersive nature writing I' ve seen committed to the page, it is also one of the most moving and emotionally wrenching books I' ve read in years. . . . The flora and fauna, the daily repetitions and observed rituals of the simple life are documented in keen detail, and with some beautiful turns of phrase. But what on the surface sounds like the pursuit of a post-pastoral idyll actually peels back to reveal the inner workings of a fragile and unravelling mind as it descends towards darkness over a two year period. It' s a book with a thin skin. ' - Ben Myers
