What to expect

Luce is a solitary young woman, caretaker of an old lodge on the edge of a lake in the mountains of North Carolina that's as isolated as she is. Until her beautiful, gentle sister Lily is murdered, and Luce inherits mute, traumatised twins. Luce knows that if the children come to harm under her care she will never be able to forgive herself, but it takes all her energy to keep them away from a world of dangers: water, fire, axes, snakes . . . And Lily's husband, a chilling killer who is missing a horde of cash, and thinks the twins must have it.

    Frank Egerton, The Times on THIRTEEN MOONS

  • ‘Frazier is a timeless master magician who renders the texture of the landscape, emotion and history of excruciatingly real’

    Time Out on THIRTEEN MOONS

    Erica Wagner, The Times on COLD MOUNTAIN
