Publisher's Synopsis
When Clifford Stilton dies, his son gene crams his carefully kept diaries into a hall cupboard. But Clifford's words have too much life in them to be ignored, and start to permeate his family's world. In a Fishbone Church tells the story of three generations of the Stilton family, woven together with brilliance and subtlety, spanning continents and decades. From the Berlin rave scene to the Canterbury duck season, from the rural 1950's to the cosmopolitan present, five vivid lives cohere in a deeply affecting and exhilirating novel.
'Catherine Chidgey is a wonderful new talent, and In a Fisbone Church marks the beginning of what promises to be a glorious literary career' Nick Hornby
'Warm, wit, descriptive delicacy and understated emotional intensity ... as subtle as a breath' Time Out
