Wist

by Jackie Gay

Through their respective letters, Kate obliquely shares Romany’s colourful and intense experiences of travelling across India to the Himalayas, and Romany in turn realises that her absence has coincided with a time of immense change for the family and friends she left behind in Birmingham.

This is a piercingly poignant and thought-provoking novel, with as many questions raised and emotions stirred by what Gay doesn’t say as those found in the written text. The book will remain with you long after you have turned the final page.
