Snake by Kate Jennings

Snake by Kate Jennings

‘“Snake” is a book that will come to be regarded as a classic account of the realities of Australian rural life.’ People Magazine Irene is clever, ambitious, easily seduced, and tempted by everything-everything beyond the confines of her life on a remote Australian farm and her marriage to a man she might once, briefly, have loved. Rex, her quiet, adoring, responsible husband, bears mostly silent witness as Irene wrestles with her duties as wife and mother, tends her garden, and imaginatively resists her fate, as their marriage unravels inexorably, bitterly, spectacularly. ‘The brief scenes, often seemingly random and catching the absolute rub of the quotidian, possess what feels like a holographic shimmer…”Snake” is clearly the work of a powerful imagination.’ Carol Shields, New York Times Book Review

Kate Jennings, who grew up in Australia, has lived since 1979 in New York. Her writings have appeared in New York Times Book Review . Snake is her first novel and the first of her books to be published in the United Kingdom.
