Wolf Solent
'This world is made of clouds and of the shadows of clouds. It is made of mental landscapes, porous as air, where men and women are as trees walking, and as reeds shaken by the wind'
First published in 1929, Wolf Solent was the first in John Cowper Powys' great sequence of visionary works of fiction, set in Hardy's Wessex but a Wessex now ravaged by the impact of the Great War and the curse of modernity. Both a lyrical story of the English countryside and an agonised account of life and love in the shadow of monstrous change, Wolf Solent is a cult novel like no other.
