October 16: Clear by Carys Davies

• A New York Times Book Review Top 10 Historical Fiction Book of 2024
“John, an impoverished Scottish minister, has accepted a job evicting the lone remaining occupant of an island north of Scotland—Ivar, who has been living alone for decades, with only the animals and the sea for company… Shortly after John reaches the island, he falls down a cliff and is found, unconscious and badly injured, by Ivar who takes him home and tends to his wounds … John begins to learn Ivar’s language, and Ivar sees himself reflected through the eyes of another person for the first time in decades.

“Clear is ‘a jewel of a novel’ (The Washington Post)—a profound and unforgettable read.” -- Amazon
