About this product
Product Information
Marvellous Ways is eighty-nine years old and has lived alone in a remote Cornish creek for nearly all her life. Lately she's taken to spending her days sitting on a mooring stone by the river with a telescope. She's waiting for something - she's not sure what, but she'll know it when she sees it. Drake is a young soldier left reeling by the Second World War. When his promise to fulfil a dying man's last wish sees him wash up in Marvellous' creek, broken in body and spirit, the old woman comes to his aid. A Year of Marvellous Ways is a glorious, life-affirming story about the magic in everyday life and the pull of the sea, the healing powers of storytelling and sloe gin, love and death and how we carry on when grief comes snapping at our heels.

What struck me was Winman's gorgeous imagery, beautiful passages and imaginative storytelling. Quirky and slightly hairbrained, A Year of Marvellous Ways is an unforgettable book-- Mitford Society Summer Reads, The stories are touching and the twist of magical realism lends them a joyful, fairytale element-- Daily Record, The book demonstrates vividly how we need family around us, whether homegrown or grafted, to live our fullest lives... By the end of this novel, we too belong in the world of Marvellous Ways-- Sunday Express, S Magazine, A Gripping Waiting Game ... the Novel's Surprising Denouement Is Also Well Worth the Wait-- Observer, One to read slowly so you can savour every beautiful sentence-- Good Housekeeping (Book of the Month), A breathtaking reading experience... a beautiful book that is unafraid to reveal the ugliness of the world-- Toronto Star, She is particularly good at bringing the sensations of landscape to bear - its smell, sound and look - and in Marvellous has created a character of warmth and eccentricity-- Metro
