Samantha Clark enjoyed a busy career before returning home to Glasgow to take care of the house that her parents had left behind. The Clearing is a powerful memoir about grief, art and what we must do with the things we cannot know.
'As an artist, clark is adept at dealing with metaphors and symbolism, and her forays into science and metaphysics feel like natural, unforced extensions of her grief and guilt, clarifying rather than obfuscating the path she has found through this turbulent phase of her life. Readers who have been through similar experiences will find much in this sensitive and articulare memoir which they can identify and draw solace from'. Herald.
