The Seed Collectors

The Seed Collectors
The Seed Collectors

Botanical intrigue reveals complex family secrets.

If you have a penchant for contemporary literature mixing family saga with a touch of the mystical, "The Seed Collectors" might just be your next page-turner. Scarlett Thomas weaves the complex lives of the Gardener family with an almost magical element of botany, making it a vivid read that explores human desires and connections. It's a novel that plants seeds of thought that could blossom well after the last page is turned.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

THREE GENERATIONS. TWO SECRETS. ONE FAMILY TREE. Aunt Oleander is dead. In the Garden of England her extended family gather to remember her, to tell stories and to rekindle old memories. To each of her nearest and dearest Oleander has left a precious seed pod. But along with it comes a family secret that could open the hardest of hearts but also break the closest ties... A complex and fiercely contemporary tale of inheritance, enlightenment, life, death, desire and family trees, The Seed Collectors is the most important novel yet from one of the world's most daring and brilliant writers. As Henry James said of George Eliot's Middlemarch, The Seed Collectors is a 'treasurehouse of detail' revealing all that it means to be connected, to be part of a society, to be part of the universe and to be human.
