  • Summary

  • The writer Noreen Masud was brought up in Lahore with her three sisters. When she was a teenager, and with no warning, her doctor father banished them from Pakistan and, since then, she's created a life for herself as an academic. But now suffering from complex post-traumatic stress disorder, Noreen compulsively seeks out flat places in the landscape - bare spaces where she can see for miles and which find an echo in the traumatised, flat place inside herself. Her strange and original memoir A Flat Place, deservedly nominated for top literary prizes, is an ode to flatness and to the power of what lies beneath. Noreen and Charlie walk the flat, muddy shoreline of Severn Beach - and talk about bones, flesh, and beauty.
