Feverish and forthright, Pond is an absorbing chronicle of the pitfalls
and pleasures of a solitudinous life told by an unnamed woman living on
the cusp of a coastal town. Broken bowls, belligerent cows, swanky
aubergines, trembling moonrises and horrifying sunsets, the physical
world depicted in these stories is unsettling yet intimately familiar
and soon takes on a life of its own. Captivated by the stellar charms of
seclusion but restless with desire, the woman's relationship with her
surroundings becomes boundless and increasingly bewildering.
Claire-Louise Bennett's startlingly original first collection slips
effortlessly between worlds and is by turns darkly funny and deeply
moving.
