We are about to launch a number of titles with Kingston University Press. The Press have a great list, and we are delighted to be working on these fantastic books with the KUP team.
The Sound of Turquoise by Gill Gregory is out on 1st December. The book has received excellent reviews from those who have already read it.
‘A gripping and very moving book, a family story chronicling the effects upon a sensitive young woman of two family tragedies, one close at hand, the other in pre-revolutionary Russia. I found it hard to put down and am sure that other readers will feel the same.
’ Leonee Ormond‘This subtle, beautifully written narrative is irresistible. Built from stories within stories, memories within memories, it tells of a girl growing up in the sixties haunted by the three men in her family – her brother who has severe epilepsy, her mysterious psychiatrist father and her exotic Russian grandfather. The tenderness and the bleakness, the jokes and the tragic tensions evoked in Gill Gregory’s book are unforgettable. She is a fine writer with a gripping story to tell.’
Isobel ArmstrongAuthor Gill Gregory comments 'This book is an experiment of life writing. As a third person narrative it is not memoir or autobiography. The story is based in real histories but it also maps the invisible pathways, the haunted terrains that this child, who is myself, keeps on bearing in mind.'
