Description
Did you hear? Big landslip over by Ercol. Last night. The road into Gully's closed off. They found a body. Got police tape. All that stuff. They only do that for murder, don't they? Murder!
A body has been uncovered in a mudslide just outside the village of Andwiston. In the pub they talk of murder, but Dan - sometime mechanic, constant drunk - is finding it hard to sift through his jumbled memories. Watching him from the dark is Lorna, a lost soul living in the woods, haunted by ghosts and a vision from her childhood: a cold boy standing alone in Gallinger's field.
Fusing the ghost story with sharp psychological insight, this brilliant timely novel about loneliness, buried secrets and the havoc they play on the mind cements Carol Birch as one of our most important literary writers.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"A naturally literary writer who can, with a simple image, evoke the deepest emotion." (Guardian)
