Synopsis

*A Richard & Judy Bookclub Pick Spring 2016*

A YEAR OF MARVELLOUS WAYS is the unforgettable and completely captivating new novel from Sarah Winman, author of the international bestseller WHEN GOD WAS A RABBIT and a Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller.

Marvellous Ways is eighty-nine years old and has lived alone in a remote Cornish creek for nearly all her life. Lately she's taken to spending her days sitting on a mooring stone by the river with a telescope. She's waiting for something - she's not sure what, but she'll know it when she sees it.

Drake is a young soldier left reeling by the Second World War. When his promise to fulfil a dying man's last wish sees him wash up in Marvellous' creek, broken in body and spirit, the old woman comes to his aid.

A Year of Marvellous Ways is a glorious, life-affirming story about the magic in everyday life and the pull of the sea, the healing powers of storytelling and sloe gin, love and death and how we carry on when grief comes snapping at our heels.

Review

Fanciful imagery and beautiful prose that ebbs and flows (Independent)

Winman excels in her sweeping prose and her unwavering theme of love in all its forms (Stylist)

Beautifully written (Sun on Sunday, Fabulous Magazine)

One to read slowly so you can savour every beautiful sentence (Good Housekeeping (Book of the Month))

A lavish and clever read which will stand the test of time (Irish Examiner)

Moving... offbeat and memorable (Woman & Home)

A Year of Marvellous Ways is like Dylan Thomas given a sexy rewrite by Angela Carter (Patrick Gale, author of A PLACE CALLED WINTER)

A glorious poem of a novel - a story to read slowly and to marvel at the beauty of it (Rosamund Lupton, author of SISTER)

Yet again Sarah Winman has written a beautiful, beautiful novel. A Year of Marvellous Ways will hypnotise, seduce, until you can do nothing but pick it up and read it again (Tiffany Murray, author of DIAMOND STAR HALO and SUGAR HALL)

A gripping waiting game ... The novel's surprising denouement is also well worth the wait (Observer)
