About the Book

Martin Cox is a brilliant but untrained draftsman in his early twenties. He is rich, damaged, obsessive. Shadowhurst Hall, remote, desolate and forgotten, exerts a peculiar pull. The country landscape, a world of shades and shadows, both confuses and beguiles Martin, a man more comfortable in black and white, with facts and numbers. As he explores the house, the landscape and its history it leads him on a journey – back in time to two world wars, and forwards, unexpectedly, towards a healing. A novel of memory and history, and of the scars left by unacknowledged damage and how they can shape us, The Draftsman is also a story of renewal.

About the Author :
Laurel Lindström has worked as a technical writer and journalist. Under the name of Laurel Brunner she specialises in digital prepress, printing and publishing technologies and her work has been published all over the world. Laurel is a regular speaker at industry events in North and South America, Europe and Asia, a Visiting Professor at Shenzen Technical University in China and one of a small cohort of Women of Distinction selected by US publishers Output Links. Laurel is married to Paul and together they have three grown up children, Hannah, Morgan and Matilda.

Review :
'Subtly explores the mind of a damaged genius – a man with monochrome certainties but little grasp of human sympathies – as he gradually learns how to feel and respond to the world around him. Lindstrom’s warm and textured prose is at its best when evoking the healing qualities of wild nature. Wordsworth himself would have been impressed' John Walsh
