Little did Aldous Jones know when he careened over his bicycle handlebars back in 1955, landing next to farmer Evans's field, that it would turn into the idyllic start to a series of camping holidays in that same field. With Gerard Woodward's deadpan wit and poignant evocation, August encapsulates the portrait of the Joneses and their growing family. Strangely enough, the rural site seems to change in conjunction with their city life, creating a parallel universe instead of a getaway. The Jones family also is featured in I'll Go to Bed at Noon and A Curious Earth.

Review:
'The energy fuelling the language is colossal – it thunders away with tremendous gusto...' -- Margaret Forster, Spectator

'this is no dreamy ‘poet’s novel’...a strong narrative, powered by cunningly withheld information, and the threat of crisis.’ -- Patrick Gale, The Independent

‘Simply one of the finest books about the pains and joys of family that I have ever read' -- Brian Case, Time Out
Book Description:
A stunning and unforgettable first novel from an award-winning poet.
