Book Of Mrs Noah by Michele Roberts
A woman visiting Venice fantasises that she is Mrs Noah. Her Ark, a vast, form shifting construct of the imagination, is a water-bourne library moored somewhere in the Lagoon, repository not only of creat-ures but of the entire knowledge of the human race. Travelling with her on her journey of self-exploration and survival are five story-telling Sybils, each representing a different aspect of woman's experience down the centuries. Listening to these dark, funny, beautifully narrated tales - often of oppression - is the Gaffer, a rakish old man with much to learn.
Michele Roberts is the author of eight highly acclaimed novels including Daughters of the House (1992) which won the WH Smith Literary Award and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. She has also published a collection of short stories and three collections of poetry. Michele Roberts lives in London and Mayenne, France.
