Helm
Not yet published
Expected 15 Apr 26'Helm' is een wispelturige wind die al eeuwen door de Eden-vallei in het noordwesten van Engeland raast. De valleibewoners hebben zich steeds op hun eigen wijze tot de wind de prehistorische stam probeerde hem gunstig te stemmen; de priester in de middeleeuwen wilde hem verbannen; de victoriaanse ingenieur probeerde hem in te perken en de boerendochter hield van hem. Nu is Helm in gevaar. Omringd door haar meetinstrumenten begint Selima Sutar te vrezen dat milieuvervuiling hem fataal wordt.
Helm is een rijkgeschakeerde roman over de bijzondere relatie tussen mens en natuur, die niet zonder elkaar kunnen voortbestaan.
'Grote goden, wat is Sarah Hall getalenteerd.' – David Mitchell
