Listening to the world in and around you: Laurence Fearnley at the Grand Glacier Hotel

Ōtepoti Dunedin author Laurence Fearnley’s absorbing new novel At the Grand Glacier Hotel is, impressively, her thirteenth. In its pages Fearnley beautifully articulates the awkwardness and beauty within ourselves. In essense, she is adept at expressing the frailty and gentle  wonder of our human condition..  In the novel Fearnley matches the inner thoughts of her protagonist to the surrounding environments of an old character-filled hotel, and her small trails through the grand, dramatic South Island landscape beyond.
