Bellman & Black by Diane Setterfield

Woolgathering: Contemplative Rest

This book tells the story of William Bellman from childhood through his life until old age. It's a ghost story of sorts and for me, it is about those losses, shocks, and traumas that colour our perspective of reality and alter our trajectory. I read an excerpt from Chapter 12 of the book. Bellman & Black is written by Diane Setterfield and published by Third Draft Limited, 2013. Other books by Diane Setterfield are The Thirteenth Tale (2008) and Once Upon a River (2018). I wish she would write some more books.
