Carys Davies - Clear

​

1843. On a remote island the sole occupant, last speaker of a dying  language, leads a life of quiet isolation which is overturned when  he finds a man unconscious on the beach below the cliffs, who brings in his wake the tides of historic change. Even with no common language, a fragile bond begins to form between them. Join us as Carys Davies, award winning novelist and short story writer, discusses her exquisite short novel Clear, a powerful exploration of the distances and connections between us. Perfectly structured and surprising at every turn, it is a marvel of storytelling which was awarded the Ondaatje Prize and longlisted for the Saltire awards  and the Highland Book Prize.
