‘Solomn pulled his wrinkled fuschia socks straight at the ankle, attempted to smoothe away the creases accumulated after spending a weekend sleeping in his clothes. When exactly had he taken the wrong path? he wondered.’
Mary Paulson-Ellis has made herself a fan favourite with the release of her two novels The Other Mrs Walker and The Inheritance of Solomon Farthing. To mark the release of the paperback edition of Solomon Farthing we asked her to give us a reading and to tackle some of those probing questions from the Proust Questionnaire.
