Publisher's Summary

Bloomsbury presents Impossible Causes by Julie Mayhew, read by Julie Mayhew, Lissa Berry and Lauren Cornelius.

Four elements.

Four seasons.

Four points on the compass.

Four teenage girls.

And one dead body.

The Crucible meets The Craft in this brilliantly dark tale of isolated communities, rumours and suspicion.

One of Netgalley's October Books of the Month.

What the critics say

"Atmospheric and disorientating [...] A claustrophobic tale of outsiders versus insiders, religious fervour versus age-old paganism and, ultimately, women and men. A tightly told and powerful story of sins, lies and secrets long held." (Sarah Hughes, i)

"This highly imaginative novel and its meticulously created community of characters was an addictive read with twists and turns and a wonderful sense of place. Beautifully written, beguiling and compelling." (Lisa Ballantyne, author of The Guilty One)

"A beautiful piece of writing - hypnotically convincing, eerie and disturbing. Mayhew's is a voice I long to hear more of." (Alex Marwood, author of The Wicked Girls)
