About this product

Product Information

Set in a remote and desolate corner of East Suffolk, devoted to the farming of rapeseed, peas, and pigs, Seldom Seem opens on a spring day in 1981 when 14-year old Desiree White discovers a dead baby in a ditch. Why the baby was dumped there and who the parents are, remains a mystery. The only person who holds the clue, but has yet to work it out, is Desiree herself, and from that moment on bad luck seems to surround her and her family. Sarah evocatively weaves her cast in and out of the desolate pylons and acreage of rape and beet fields, twisting the mysterious strands tighter and tighter until the revelations explode one morning after a mini earthquake. Seldom Seen is a beautifully pitched and nuanced tale of a young girl's awakening to the cruelty of the world.
