Nourishment - Gerard Woodward

Released: 03/09/2010 Picador
Tory, a housewife on the Home Front, is affronted when she receives a request from her POW husband for a dirty letter ‘by return of post’. She soon puts her distaste aside and resolves to investigate the art of erotic correspondence – with unexpected consequences. A thoughtful book from a prize-winning, Man Booker-nominated poet and novelist.
