About this listen

Rachel Seiffert, author of The Dark Room, powerfully evokes our need for human connection in this brilliant and haunting group of stories. From the title piece, in which a young biologist conceals his discoveries at a polluted river from a local woman, to the family aided by an enemy in 'The Crossing', to the old man weighing his regrets in 'Francis John Jones, 1924 -' Seiffert's acclaimed, refined prose movingly captures the lives of her characters in their most essential, secret moments.

Rachel Seiffert’s first novel, The Dark Room, won a Betty Trask Award and the Los Angeles Times’ Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction. It was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and adapted into a feature film called Lore. Seiffert has also received a David T. K. Wong award from PEN International for her work.

"Contains vast themes of war and kinship, grief and terror, love and trust. This is the short story at its best." (Sunday Times)
"A magnificent collection: striking, moving, and deeply thought-provoking." (Financial Times)
"Seiffert is a writer of great delicacy and toughness... good story begetting good story after good story." (Guardian)
