Overview

Ken sits out the back, in the flatlands that surround Old Goole, and watches the weather. That's what he was doing with poor Lucy, that fateful day, sat on the roof of his house, lifting her up to the sky. Lucy's friend, Florrie, she knew what would happen. All of this is picked up by Alfie de Losinge's machine, which he had designed to control the weather. Instead, amongst the tiny atoms of cloud formations, he receives fragmentary images of events that slowly unfold to reveal a tender, and ultimately tragic, love story.

Reviews

'Anthony Cropper is a real find; a truly original writer who uses words in quite a unique way. Weatherman creates a landscape that the reader inhabits in a dreamlike way. The book almost hums with atmosphere. There are moments of great humour and realism, but we are never unaware of river, sky, flatness, stillness, geographical and timeless space in the novel. In many ways it is deeply philosophical, making us contemplate how people relate to one another in a landscape, and what it is that draws them together or keeps them apart - This is an extraordinary first novel'. Julia Darling
