Synopsis "The Wood at Midwinter"

From the internationally bestselling and prize-winning author of Piranesi and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, an enchanting and haunting Christmas short . story. A small hardback edition featuring an afterword by the author.

‘A church is a sort of wood. A wood is a sort of church. They’re the same thing really.’

Nineteen-year-old Merowdis Scott is an unusual girl. She can talk to animals and trees – and she is only ever happy when she is walking in the woods.

One snowy afternoon, out with her dogs and Apple the pig, Merowdis encounters a blackbird and a fox. As darkness falls, a strange figure enters in their midst – and the path of her life is changed forever.

Susanna Clarke (Nottingham, 1959) is a British writer known for her distinctive approach to historical fantasy. Her literary debut, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (2004), blends magic and realism in an alternative 19th century England. The novel was an international success, selling over four million copies and earning awards such as the Hugo and the World Fantasy Award. In 2006, she published The Ladies of Grace Adieu, a collection of stories set in the same magical universe.

After a period of inactivity due to chronic fatigue syndrome, Clarke returned in 2020 with Piranesi, a novel that explores solitude and identity in a labyrinthine world. The work was critically acclaimed and won the Women's Prize for Fiction in 2021. Clarke continues to be an influential figure in contemporary fantasy literature, noted for her evocative style and her ability to merge the magical with the historical.
