Sonia Hughes - Weeding Cane

Another great book from Gatehouse, because: "A beginner reader is not a beginner thinker".

Weeding Cane is a story that really does work on many levels. Everything is a metaphor for something and it is presented with the kind of intelligent, earthy domestic poetry that very few writers manage.
"How do we arrange the world? How do we arrange our lives? And how do we love and hold ourselves together when we begin to crack? Classic themes explored with a fresh and agile mind. There is more to this story than it seems. Yes it is black, but yes, it is universal.”
Benjamin Zephaniah, Poet
