    About this ebook

    It is spring in Cornwall again. Life is burgeoning in the bleak and muddy pop-up housing estate of Toldhu, where the buildings are sliding down the hillside at an uneven rate and the fast advancing crack in the Artex has opened up a lane to domestic misery.

    With artful shifts of grammar and syntax, Combellack's relentless prose contrives the mental maps of people who are cemented to the unforgiving land.

    'Oddly disturbing.' This Lacanian post-feminism set in a post-Cornish landscape.
