Synopsis :

Everywhere is extraordinary. You only have to scrape the surface. Award-winning writer Pauline Fisk spent a year recording all the remarkable, innovative, controversial, overlooked, important or fleeting things that caught her attention in her home-town Shrewsbury during the course of a single year. Her resulting popular blog, My Tonight from Shrewbury, documented her take on this medieval county town in mid-Shropshire, in the very centre of England. The result is a fascinating snapshot of town life in 2013: Pauline discovered dentists who conjure, portrait-painting hairdressers, reminiscences of old Shrewsbury, a hidden underground antiques market, an Orthodox icon painter, modern urban explorers of the medieval rooftops and much, much more."

Biographie de l'auteur: Pauline Fisk has written 11 novels of which her first one, Midnight Blue, won the Smarties Book Prize and her latest saw her travelling in Belize and was published by Faber.She has lived in the centre of Shrewsbury for 16 years and in Shropshire, which provides the backdrop for many of her novels, for a further 26 years.
