About this title

Review:

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)

Dense and claustrophobic, this well-written novel reprises the old themes of men whose need to control women is so frenzied that they cannot see any female as an independent human being (Literary Review)

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')

Exploring the consequences of staying silent at one woman's expense, this highly atmospheric tale is both thrilling and poignant (Heat)
