Description

Elizabeth Harrower is one of the literary finds of the decade: The Watch Tower (Text, 2013) and the lost classic In Certain Circles (Text, 2014) have been rightly praised by critics and the public alike. Now comes the latest reissue from Harrower's back catalogue, 1979's The Catherine Wheel.

Reviews

'I love The Watch Tower, but I love The Catherine Wheel more. Like all the Harrower books, with their psychological mysteries, their droll humour, their brilliant language and ear for voices, The Catherine Wheel takes your hand from the first page and beckons you in.' Ramona Koval 'A brilliant achievement.' Washington Post on The Watch Tower 'First published in 1966, this book has traces of Patrick White mixed with the darkness of the brothers Grimm. It is a great novel due a rediscovery in the way that Stoner was championed by John McGahern.' Irish Times on The Watch Tower ' A remarkable achievement.' Australian Book Review on Down in the City 'Rich and rewarding.' Starred review, Kirkus 'The Catherine Wheel is a great starting point for those new to Harrower's work, those readers who are unafraid to face the darker aspects of desire we're sometimes too ashamed to acknowledge.' 3am Magazine, Top Reads for 2015
