Description
The Crucible meets The Craft in this brilliantly dark thriller about isolated communities, rumours and suspicion.
The arrival of three strangers on Lark, a remote island with a population of 300, is the cause of much speculation. The first, a young teacher – the only male teacher on the island – the other two, a mother and her teenage daughter. What have they come to escape? And what will they find waiting for them in Lark?
In Julie Mayhew's mesmerising and compelling thriller, an isolated and deeply religious island with a history of paganism is riven when a man is found dead in a stone circle. As rumours spread and tensions rise, three Lark teenage girls and the new arrival from the mainland find themselves accused of witchcraft – and murder.
Advance Praise
'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
'A beautiful piece of writing – hypnotically convincing, eerie and disturbing. Mayhew is a voice I long to hear more of'
