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.

'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.'
'Its narrative has a thoroughly human scale and informs just as much as it moves and entertains'
'Frazier is a timeless master magician who renders the texture of the landscape, emotion and history of excruciatingly real'
A romance of love, of friendship, of family, of land. Frazier has inhaled the spirit of the age and breathes it into the reader's being
A poetic account of hardship, violence and longing. . . above all a sustained flight of the imagination
