The Knot by Jane Borodale
From the author of the Orange New Writers shortlisted The Book of Fires, an extraordinary tale of love and science.‘This is a story about dreams, about the fragility of human achievement and the restorative – and destructive – powers of nature … Surprising and intensely moving’ Maria McCann, author of The Wilding
‘Pitch-perfect…Time flew as I was transported back to the mid-sixteenth century…Borodale exhibits a breathtaking knowledge of all things rural and horticultural.’ Dove Grey Reader
‘A beautiful book which goes to the heart of a gentle, driven man bringing his dream to life. The malign force he faces is chilling. The detail is touched in with great and subtle skill. ’ James Long, author of Ferney and The Lives She Left Behind
