The Earth Hums in B Flat

The Earth Hums in B Flat, Mari Strachan

Gwenni Morgan is growing up in a small Welsh town during the 1950s. She feels as uneasy about growing up as she does about the town itself. In The Earth Hums in B Flat we accompany her as she discovers long-hidden and half forgotten secrets about her family and community, and as she deals with the consequences of her discoveries.

The novel has been described by writers, reviewers and booksellers as “extremely compelling” – “an impressive and wonderfully absorbing debut” – “at times comical, but at other moments deeply moving” – “beautifully lit by a strain of wild poetic imagination” – “[a] magical tale [that] lingers in the memory” – "a beautifully written, loving, witty, moving and joyful book" - click on the links below to find more!
