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.

Reviews

What makes it so appealing is the voice of Will Cooper, which is potent, wry, insightful and utterly convincing . . . as rich a fiction as it is an eventful one.
Andrew Rosenheim, <i>Time Literary Supplement</i> on THIRTEEN MOONS
Its narrative has a thoroughly human scale and informs just as much as it moves and entertains
Frank Egerton, <i>The Times </i> on THIRTEEN MOONS
Frazier is a timeless master magician who renders the texture of the landscape, emotion and history of excruciatingly real
<i>Time Out</i> on THIRTEEN MOONS

Erica Wagner, <i>The Times</i> on COLD MOUNTAIN
A poetic account of hardship, violence and longing. . . above all a sustained flight of the imagination
