Böcker av Isobel Dixon

In The Tempest Prognosticator leeches warn of storms, whales blunder up the Thames, beetles tap out courtship rituals, and women fall for deft cocktail makers and melancholy apes. Isobel Dixon entices the reader on a journey where the familiar is not always as it seems at first, where the sideways glance yields rich rewards.

A Fold in the Map charts two very different voyages: a tracing of the dislocations of leaving one's native country, and a searching exploration of grief at a father's final painful journey. "Isobel Dixon was born with the gift of lyricism as natural speech." - Clive James
