The year is 1929, and newlyweds George and Serena Pemberton arrive from Boston in the North Carolina mountains to create a timber empire. Serena is new to the mountains - but she soon shows herself the equal of any worker, overseeing crews, hunting rattlesnakes, even saving her husband's life in the wilderness. Yet she also learns that she will never bear a child. Serena's discovery will set in motion a course of events that will change the lives of everyone in this remote community. As the Pembertons' intense, passionate marriage starts to unravel, this riveting story of love, passion and revenge moves toward its shocking reckoning.

Review:
"A stunningly effective novel that is stark, fierce, dramatic and gripping from its unforgettable opening paragraph." (Janet Maslin New York Times, Top Ten Books of 2008)

"It's too hypnotic to break away from. Innocent people are in peril, and calamity seems as unstoppable . . . The final chapter is as flawless and captivating as anything I've read this year." (Washington Post)

"In an age when literary fiction is so intent on subtlety that it often winds up virtually inert, a novel with this much uncomplicated gusto and narrative drive is a rare thing; in the case of Serena, it's also a welcome one." (Salon)

"A searing tragedy of Shakespearean proportions - or, in simpler terms, a damn good book that will keep you awake far too late and, well after you've finished it, haunt your dreams." (Julia Glass, author of THREE JUNES)

"Rash's evocative rendering of the blighted landscape and the tough characters who inhabit it recalls both John Steinbeck and Cormac McCarthy, while the malignant character of Serena, who projects a "stark unflinching certainty" about her actions, propels his finely paced story." (New Yorker)

"A story that's sprawling, engrossing and - from time to time - nightmarish. The tension builds so well that occasionally you just want whatever monstrosity is approaching to be over." (San Francisco Chronicle)

"Rash is a storyteller of the highest rank and Serena confirms this from the opening sentence to the final page. An epic achievement." (Jeffrey Lent, author of IN THE FALL)

"A gorgeous, brutal novel." (Richard Price, author of LUSH LIFE)

"A brilliant story of passion and revenge. Terrific." (The Times 2009-08-15)

"This gripping tale of warped psychology is underpinned by thrilling descriptions of the landscape of the Appalachians." (Conde Nast Traveller 2009-12-01)
Book Description:
A gripping piece of storytelling, with an unforgettable woman at its heart - Serena introduces a wonderful novelist to British readers
