Published -
Genre - Memoirs
Format - Paperback
Once upon a time, there was a�tower�on a hill, beyond�the�dark trees, somewhere north. An octagonal�tower�on two levels: glass upstairs and stone below, beneath a steep slate roof - a folly, it was said. According to locals, a young woman named Annie who fell ill was confined to�the�tower�by her father for three years and died there, alone. Fascinated by Annie's story, Thea Lenarduzzi attempts to piece�the�past together in a formidable act of imagination, which, tugging at�the�strings of�the�how, why and who of stories, begins to unravel�the�very idea of storytelling itself. Veering between fiction, memoir, fairy tale and folklore,�The Tower�is an extraordinary�book about power, abuse and why we don't always tell�the�story we set out to tell.��
