A BRIDGWATER author has published a new novel containing "many inferences which Somerset readers will recognise".

David Bishop’s latest work, ‘The Box Trap’ is now available from Amazon in paperback and Kindle.

Mr Bishop, who said he is “Bridgwater born and bred”, said: “The Box Trap is based in the local area and contains many inferences which Somerset readers will recognise.”

The book is about “a west country farming family struggling with their own individual demons” who “face ruin at the onset of war”.
