by Ailsa Cox, with images by Patricia Farrell <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publication date: 9th January 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Precipitation is a collection of three stories by Ailsa Cox, two of which are published for the first time. It also features images created by the artist Patricia Farrell in response to the stories. The book is the fifth in a series of collaborations between writers and artists published by Manchester-based C\u014dnfing\u014d Publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set mostly in North West England, with excursions to Wales, Paris and the Arabian desert, these stories map the inner and outer world of their characters, excavating layers of time and memory. Two of the stories take place on the fictional street of Bethel Brow, where a grandmother nurses a long-held grievance, while two young incomers live the dream of a house in the country. In the third, the thwarted ambitions of a disappointed novelist take him on an imaginary journey. Sharply observed and often darkly comic, they hinge upon those small moments that can change your life for ever \u2013 a missed train, a turn in the weather, or a puzzling encounter with a neighbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
