Brace yourself for a groundbreaking masterpiece soon to grace Disney+ as a major television series. Octavia E. Butler's "Kindred" is a tour de force that has left an indelible mark on literature, earning accolades from the likes of the New York Times and The Guardian.

Step into the shoes of Dana, an aspiring writer in 1976 who finds herself inexplicably thrust back in time to a Maryland plantation in 1815. There, she encounters Rufus, a young boy she saves from drowning. Little does she know, this act will set in motion a series of time-bending events that will challenge her very existence.

As Dana is repeatedly summoned across centuries to rescue Rufus from peril, she grapples with the complexities of their mysterious connection. With each journey through time, the stakes grow higher, and Dana must confront the harsh realities of the antebellum South while fighting to preserve her own future.

"Kindred" is a mesmerising tale of two souls linked by blood but separated by the vast chasm of history. Butler's razor-sharp prose and unparalleled imagination weave a narrative that is at once thrilling, thought-provoking, and painfully relevant to our modern world.

Hailed as one of the most significant literary voices of the 20th century, Octavia E. Butler's work continues to captivate readers and inspire a new generation of writers. Her prescient vision and unflinching exploration of race, power, and human nature have earned her a place among the greatest authors of our time.

Prepare to be enthralled by this extraordinary odyssey through time and consciousness. "Kindred" is not merely a novel; it's a transformative experience that will leave you questioning the very fabric of reality long after you've turned the final page.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
