Carys Davies' latest offering and masterpiece, Clear, is a captivating, inventive, and tender novel that is sure to leave readers breathless. As Sarah Jessica Parker describes, "What a thrill!" This work has been recognized as one of Vogue's Best Books of the Year, and for good reason.
The novel follows the story of John, an impoverished Scottish minister who has been tasked with a challenging assignment – to "clear" the last remaining inhabitant of a remote island north of Scotland. The lone occupant, Ivar, has been living alone for decades, surrounded only by the animals and the sea. Though John's wife, Mary, has serious reservations about this errand, he decides to go nonetheless, setting in motion a chain of events that neither he nor Mary could have anticipated.
Upon reaching the island, John experiences a harrowing accident, falling down a cliff and becoming unconscious and severely injured. To his surprise, Ivar discovers him and takes him home, tending to his wounds. This unexpected turn of events leads to the development of a surprising bond between the two men, as described by The Wall Street Journal – "Clear chronicles the surprising bond that develops between these two men…pack[ing] a great deal of power into a compact tale."
As John begins to learn Ivar's language, and Ivar sees himself reflected through the eyes of another person for the first time in decades, the novel explores the themes of connection, home, and hope. Unfolding during the infamous Scottish Clearances, a period of the 19th century which saw the forced eviction of rural communities, this singular novel delves into what binds us together in the face of overwhelming differences, the way history shapes our deepest convictions, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Described by The Guardian as "a love letter to the scorching power of language," and by The Washington Post as "a jewel of a novel," Clear is a profound and unforgettable read that is both moving and unpredictable. Carys Davies has crafted a sophisticated and playful work that is sure to captivate readers, as highlighted by The New York Times' praise for its "daring and necessary" nature.
