SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE

Clover Stroud grew up in rural Wiltshire surrounded by animals and family. When she was just sixteen her adored mother had a horrific riding accident which left her permanently brain-damaged, and suddenly Clover was left to fend for herself. She embarked on an extraordinary journey to heal her broken heart, courting men and danger through two marriages and five children.

The Wild Other is a grippingly honest account of love, sex and travelling to the darkest edges of human experience and back again. Powerful and deeply emotional, this is the story of an extraordinary life lived at its fullest.

Beautiful

What a beautiful story to share. I can relate. I had a traumatic injury at 52. I am almost 66-yrs now- I fainted and broke my neck leaving me paralyzed. Traumatic for my family too. My immediate family intact but I lost almost all other relationships with relatives and friends. I know this story all too well. But found it soothing. Thank-you Clover darling.
