The Orchard on Fire: A Novel (Harvest Book)
Shena MacKay

© Amazon.com, Inc.and subsidiaries
© AllScout GmbH Book Description
When Percy and Betty Harlency abandon their seedy Streatham pub, for the Copper Kettle Tearoom in Kent, life for their daughter April changes dramatically. She is befriended by the wonderfully dangerous Ruby, whose red hair and brutal home life account for her love of fire and by the immaculately dressed Mr Greenridge who likes to follow her around the village. Shena Mackay has written a rare evocation of a 1950's childhood- mingling the innocent with the sinister and laced with the tragic and the bizarre this is an exceptional novel.
From the Hardcover edition.
Review
This intimate, intensely seen novel was shortlisted for the 1996 Booker Prize . Shena Mackay's six previous novels have won her critical admiration and a popular audience in England, but her work has not received due recognition in the United States yet. The Orchard on Fire is a concise, domestic novel set in the village of Stonebridge, where the parents of April Harlency have come in 1953 to run the local tea shop. April's private reveries and her entanglement with the grim family life of her best friend, Ruby Richards, fill up a vivid and dramatic year in the wonderfully distinctive life of Stonebridge.

Book Revue Social Work Writer's Lare Scotland Lives ... Contact omnigadrum omnigadrum - from the 16th century Scots "a miscellaneous group of crafts" edinburgh book festival 2001 Predominantly a female audience, the event was described as a celebration of the Scottish / Canadian connection... but did nothing to explore it. You really had to stretch the imagination to find anything of that here. Tartan names, alien voices (with apologies to Fanon). Shena Mackay was born in Edinburgh but brought up in London. 'Elle' once regaled Mackay as the "best writer in the world". She has been a judge on the Booker and has been shortlisted for it. Recognised as a leading exponent of the short story form, she is Honorary Professor to the MA writing course at Middlesex. Jane Urquhart has published four novels, poetry, and short stories. Recognised as one of Canada's leading novelists, she writes with intellectual and emotional depth, constructing powerful narratives which absorb and intrigue. Not an easy ort a relaxing read, but a highly satisfying one, her work deserves attention. There is a huge statue of Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's inseminator) in the middle of the Charlotte Square Gardens, where the Book Festival takes place. [Come Independence, he'll have to go!] Jane Urquhart's 'Stone Carvers' is a novel about the building of an impossible monument, so she is pleased to be reading part of her work in Edinburgh with all these impossible monuments around.

THE ORCHARD ON FIRE
By Shena Mackay, Moyer Bell, 215 pages
S cottish writer Shena Mackay published her first novel in 1967 and has been prolific since then, producing such catchy titles as "Dreams of Dead Women's Handbags'" and "A Bowl of Cherries." Her most recent novel, "The Orchard on Fire," was shortlisted for this year's Booker Prize. So how come we haven't heard more about her? She's virtually unknown in the United States, and none of her books (except her first) had even been published here until Moyer Bell, a small press based in Rhode Island, began issuing her backlist a few years ago. One reason for this neglect may be that Mackay's sensibility is so distinctly British. Unlike most Americans, who still believe in a Horatio Alger world of limitless social mobility and individuals making their own destinies, Mackay's characters often seem trapped by a rigid class system and low expectations. The narrator of "The Orchard on Fire," April Harlency, tells us "My parents, Percy and Betty Harlency, were brought up in the licensed trade and met and married in that profession. After Percy's demob from the Catering Corps, we lived above a series of public houses which time has condensed into one bleak establishment." The story takes place in 1953, when April is eight. Her parents have given up their London pub and are trying to make a better life running a tearoom in a small town. April's horizons expand on her first day in Stonebridge when she meets Ruby, the fiery red-headed daughter of the local publicans. The two girls soon create their own world, one beautifully described by Mackay, in an abandoned railway car at the end of a private orchard. Inevitably, of course, reality intrudes, in the form of Mr. Greenidge, a member of the local gentry and regular customer at the struggling tearoom, who molests April (mildly, but regularly). Mackay conveys April's fear so starkly thatthe reader feels as trapped as April.

'The Artist's Widow' 'The Artist's Widow'
The Artist's Widow opens in a Mayfair gallery at the private view of the last paintings of John Crane, where we meet Lyris Crane, the artist's widow and a painter in her own right. Also present are several other key players in the drama, all of whom are drawn to Lyris for a variety of reasons and motives. There is Nathan Pursey, a boorish young conceptual artist on the make, Clovis Ingram, a bookseller who is involved with Candy, the rejected mistress of a Tory MP who has just lost his seat, and Zoe, a beautiful television film-maker. An incident on the way home proves Clovis capable of an act of cowardice that will haunt him always. Nathan sets off a train of events with a maudlin late-night phone call to Jackee, a sad white rastafarian whom he dumped a while ago. This is a story of the good, the bad and the untalented where the intricate and often funny narrative explores the nature of the artistic impulse as well as guilt and the possibility of redemption. It is also a London novel, exploring the mental and physical geography of the city in all its variety. Intricately plotted, constantly surprising, wise and funnym it is Shena Mackay at her very best.
