Behind the charms of iambs lurks a dark exploration of domestic and social alienation. Metered rhyme sets the tone like a chilling piano score as insidiousness creeps into the neighbourhood. A spectral narrator surveils social gatherings in the town of Sherbet Lake; community members chime in, each revealing their various troubles and hypocrisies; an eerie reimagining of an Ethel Wilson novel follows a young woman into a taboo friendship with an enigmatic divorcée. In taut poetic structures across three succinct sections, Alexandra Oliver’s conflation of the mundane and the phantasmagoric produces a scintillating portrait of the suburban uncanny.","brand":"Biblioasis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51137387495712,"sku":"9781771964715","price":9.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781771964715.jpg?v=1768807842","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/hail-the-invisible-watchman-alexandra-oliver-9781771964715","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
