The Invention of Memory
by
Simon Loftus

• 

  Ocean Sea by Alessandro Baricco

  Price: £7.99    Add to Basket

  The acclaimed author of 'Silk' and 'Without Blood' here offers a dark tragi-comedy that centres around a remote seaside inn and the interlinked stories of the various guests. By turns playful and profound, this is a compelling and ethereal novel with a sting in its tail.

  Silk by Alessandro Baricco

  Price: £7.99    Add to Basket

  More of a poem than a novel, this slim, exquisitely-written book tells the story of Herve Jonceur, a French silk worm farmer whose stock has been blighted by disease. In desperation, he decides to make a dangerous voyage across 19th century Europe and Asia and into the forbidden, closed country of Japan where he meets the Japanese trader Hara Kei and his mesmerising geisha. A truly beautiful book and highly recommended.
