Bøger af Catherine Chidgey

The Beat of the Pendulum is a `found novel', the result of one year in which Catherine Chidgey drew upon the language she encountered on a daily basis, such as news stories, radio broadcasts, emails, social media, street signs, TV, and many conversations.

Siggi lives in the affluent ignorance of middle-class Berlin, her father a censor who excises prohibited words (`promise', `love', `mercy'). Erich is an only child living a lush rural life, aware that he is shadowed by strange, unanswered questions. The days Siggi and Erich spend together will shape the rest of their lives.
