Clearing

Samantha Clark a avut o carieră activă de artist înainte să se întoarcă acasă, în Glasgow, pentru a avea grijă de casa rămasă de la părinții ei.

Despre carte

This house has been a regular presence in my life for as long as I can remember. My heart has sunk a little every time I walk in . . .

Moving from room to room, sifting through the clutter of belongings, reflecting on her mother's long, sedated years of mental illness and her father's retreat to the world of amateur radio and model planes, Samantha began to contemplate her inheritance. A need for creativity and a desire for solitude had sprung up from a childhood shaped by anxiety and confusion.

Weaving in the works and lives of others, including celebrated painter Agnes Martin and scientist of dark matter Vera Rubin, The Clearing is a powerful account of what we must do with the things we cannot know.
