Signed bundle from Cath Barton (#18)

Two signed heartfelt novellas from Cath Barton, winner of the New Welsh Writing Americymru Prize for the Novella, 2017.

The Plankton Collector (New Welsh Review, 2018) tells how interventions from a mysterious stranger helps the different members of a family slain by sadness. 'A beautifully controlled mix of magical realism and nature writing about time, healing, trauma and the fluid, unreliable nature of memory' - David Lloyd, co-judge of the New Welsh Writing Awards 2017.

In the Sweep of the Bay (Louise Walters Books, 2020) is the story of a long marriage, set in Morecambe Bay. 'This poignant novella has the feel of Revolutionary Road in a northern town and the outsize power of Mothering Sunday' - Isabel Costello, The Literary Sofa.

Both copies are paperbacks signed by the author.
