Elegant... delicate meditation on the cyclical nature of history, and the strength of communities Observer A novel with real, haunting power Guardian Hooton's voice is beautifully lyrical, gentle and appreciative of nature; as the novel builds we too are drawn into this world, and the jaggedly horrifying finale. Beautifully written and highly recommended -- Victoria Moore Daily Mail Sensuous and arresting, Hooton's writing is consistently alive with imagery Sunday Business Post A beautifully evocative and carefully crafted novel that skilfully captures a vivid landscape while giving us a glimpse into the lives of its diverse yet complex community.
