Come What Clay
Represented by Thérèse Coen
Come What Clay is a delightfully tart novel about middle age and ceramics—one that reaches the heart through laughter. For readers of The Wedding People, and fans of Emma Gannon and Alexandra Potter.
What happens when Dorit loses her job, family, and home?
Helsinki-based Dorit has had enough of her job at a TV production company. She leaves the stale workplace behind, taking only a genuine Queen Elizabeth jubilee mug with her. But the thrill of freedom quickly fades when her father, whose memory is failing, is rushed to the
emergency room.
A new anchor in her life emerges through a pottery-themed TV show. Dorit dives headfirst into ceramics—and falls hard. Soon, she finds herself dreaming of starting her own pottery studio. But what happens to her marriage when a youthful love reappears in the stairwell, and her husband has turned into a lycra-clad, low-fat version of himself?
This heartwarming debut offers a hilarious glimpse into the life changes experienced by women in their forties.
