The Plankton Collector by Cath Barton

A wonderful short magical realist novella, beautifully written, which won the Novella Prize at the Welsh Writing Awards in 2017.

At the heart of this story is a deeply unhappy family. A mysterious character, who seems to be able to bend space and time, appears differently to each family member, being just the person they need to meet at that moment. Wonderfully humane, this story is about healing and redemption.

Parthian Books, 2017
