Summer Festival 2026: Love Forms - Claire Adam
In Love Forms, Claire Adam explores the shifting terrain of love, motherhood, and personal freedom. At once intimate and unsettling, the novel asks what it means to build a life, and who is affected by the choices we make.
Longlisted for the Booker Prize last year, Love Forms follows an emigrant from Trinidad and Tobago trying to find the daughter she was forced to give up for adoption. With clarity and emotional precision, Adam examines the boundaries of love, asking how far it can stretch, and what happens when it is tested.
