1915, the Cabrach. In the fierce, wild beauty of this remote corner of Scotland, an isolated community makes a discovery- an ancient body in a peat bog, perfectly preserved.
Two people haul the body from the ground- Lizzie, the wife of a wealthy local landowner, and Johnny, a nomadic singer and farm hand.
Soon afterwards, strange events begin to occur. At hearthside and inn, people whisper- what have we unearthed?
As tensions run high and men leave for war, old fears and secrets emerge. But in a place where judgement is swift, who is truly without sin?
'A striking debut, filled with folkloric mystery and yearning' Amy Twigg, author of Spoilt Creatures
'Scapegoats, suspicion and secrets...a haunting picture of a small, intense environment where isolation can breed solidarity and warmth as easily as superstition and exclusion' Financial Times
'A simmering tale of outcasts and buried secrets, love and redemption' Danielle Giles, author of Mere
'A striking and atmospheric debut' The Times
'Sets a beautifully atmospheric scene from its opening lines to its final moments' PA MEDIA
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING-
'An earthy, folkloric tale, where superstition is rife...a captivating read. Highly recommended'
'A gothic literary experience, rural and immersive, that thrums with tension, mystery and forbidden love'
'A deeply immersive reading experience, and one of the best elements of this book is how the atmosphere and environment of rural scotland, the small farms, the fields, the bog, the changing of seasons - nature itself becomes a character'
'Beautifully written, chilling and disturbing, the book is an engrossing read from start to finish'
'Sometimes you come across a book that is note perfect; very readable and entirely relatable but still beautifully, poetically written. This is such a complete novel, it is hard to believe it is the author's debut'
'This was a stunningly beautiful novel. Dark and creepy and wonderfully realised, and the character voices were next-level good'
