2020 was famously an ‘unprecedented year’. Now, in Catherine’s Fox’s ‘Tales from Lindford’, readers can relive this extraordinary year – at a safe and non–contagious distance – through the eyes and experiences of the people of Lindchester in this heartfelt novel, originally written as a series of blogs in real time in the midst of the pandemic.
Catherine Fox’s popular series The Lindchester Chronicles has been described as ‘the 21st century’s answer to Trollope’s Barchester’ and the first novel in the series, Acts and Omissions, was chosen as one of The Guardian’s books of 2014. The third book in the series left the people of Lindchester at the end of 2016 and was intended as the final book in the series – but 2020 gave Catherine an irresistible opportunity to return to Lindford as she writes, ‘come with me, one more time, dear reader’.
Dr Catherine Wilcox, who writes as Catherine Fox, is a senior lecturer, teacher and director
of the Creative Writing programme at Manchester Metropolitan University. She is the
author of seven novels; a memoir about her quest to get a judo black belt, and a series of
humorous books about the Church of England.
