Written in a rich and poetic style, Grove is an exquisite novel of grief, love and landscapes. An unnamed narrator, recently bereaved, travels to Olevano, a small village south-east of Rome. It is winter, and from her temporary residence on a hill between village and cemetery, she embarks on walks and outings, exploring the banal and the sublime with equal dedication and intensity. Seeing, describing, naming the world around her is her way of redefining her place within it. Written in a rich and poetic style, Grove is an exquisite novel of grief, love and landscapes.

Review Quote ‘What makes Grove so noteworthy is the keening, perfectly weighted clarity of Esther Kinsky’s prose; Caroline Schmidt’s elegantly considered translation is meticulous but never overstated.’ — Review Quote ‘This is a sublime book, born of profound, empathetic understanding.’ — Declan O’Driscoll, Irish Times Review Quote ‘The language and atmosphere is again redolent of Kinsky’s compatriot W. G. Sebald, the much-missed psychogeographer. With Grove, she has reached his level. This is a book that finds a kind of in the transience of being human.’ — Review Quote ‘Depth of detail is Kinsky’s forte, her language tailored perfectly to a natural world inherent with life and a mystical beauty.’ — Review Quote ‘Grove is a realistic and humbling exploration of the all-encompassing nature of bereavement. Kinsky paints a striking picture, aided by Caroline Schmidt’s careful translation.’ — Review Quote ‘Deeply sad and darkly beautiful. The novel is masterly and uplifting and without any doubt it offers solace.’ — Jury for the Düsseldorf Literature Prize Giá sản phẩm trên Tiki đã bao gồm thuế theo luật hiện hành.
