PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Frances Hardinge spent her childhood in a huge old house that inspired her to write strange stories from an early age. She read English at Oxford University, then got a job at a software company. However, by this time a persistent friend had finally managed to bully Frances into sending a few chapters of Fly By Night, her first children's novel, to a publisher. Macmillan made her an immediate offer. The book went on to publish to huge critical acclaim and win the Branford Boase First Novel Award. Known for her beautiful use of language, she has since written many critically acclaimed novels, including A Skinful of Shadows, Verdigris Deep, Cuckoo Song, Deeplight and the Costa Award-winning The Lie Tree.
Spellbinding storytelling - the inimitable Frances Hardinge has woven a wonderfully weird, richly imaginative and profoundly thought-provoking tale. -- Katherine Woodfine, author of the Sinclair's Mysteries Extraordinary. Exquisite and compelling. Sheer perfection. -- Liz Hyder, author of The Gifts A gloriously creepy, intricate masterpiece full of tangles and knots for the reader to get caught up in. * Adrian Tchaikovsky *
