Pond
Claire-Louise Bennett
Discover a mesmerizing and unconventional debut novel that captures the daily experiences and interior reality of a young, unnamed woman living a mostly solitary existence on the outskirts of a small coastal village.

From the best way to eat porridge to an encounter with cows, discover a profound and often hilarious reflection of our own desires and limitations in this unique and unforgettable novel.
