Location and isolation are themes of both Sarah Mosses writing to date but rather than a post pandemic Greenland Night Waking is set in the desolate Scottish Island of Colsay. It very well written, sharp sad with a sometimes harsh feminist view of the clash between motherhood and work.
Judging Panel Fiction Uncovered 2011: ‘A must-read for any parent, this novel dramatises a family’s struggle to balance work and relationships in the isolated setting of a Scottish isle. Everyday tensions and an extraordinary event come together to produce a remarkably satisfying story.’
