A Whistling Woman portrays the antic, thrilling and dangerous period of the late '60s as seen through the eyes of a woman whose life is forever changed by her times.
It is the late 1960s and the world begins to split. While Frederica, the spirited heroine, falls into a career in television in London, tumultuous events in her home county of Yorkshire threaten to change her life and those of the people she loves.
Near the university, where the scientists Luk and Jacqueline are studying snails, neurons and the working of the brain, an "anti-university" springs up. On the high moors nearby a gentle therapeutic community is taken over by a turbulent, charismatic leader.
Meanwhile, visions of blood and flames, of mirrors and doubles, share the refracting energy of Frederica's mosaic-like television shows.
'Rich, acerbic, and wise, A Whistling Woman ... tackles nothing less than what it means to be human.'
Vogue
'Brilliant and densely written.'
