Happy publication day to @sarah.duguid.7 for her beautiful novel The Wilderness! * “Exquisitely written, with a beautiful balance between darkness and humour” Joanna Cannon “Swept away in the depth and darkness of her storytelling, the beauty of the landscape and these fragile damaged relationships” Emma Stonex * When Anna and David receive a phone call late one evening, their lives are upturned. Within minutes, they are travelling to the west coast of Scotland, preparing to care for two young sisters, tragically and suddenly orphaned. It's a beautiful place, but the large granite house is no longer a home for the girls, and Anna knows she can never take the place of their mother. Then David invites his friend to stay, to 'ease them through' and Anna finds herself increasingly isolated, with everything she - and the girls - once knew of life discarded and overruled by a man of whom she is deeply suspicious. * #thewilderness @drjocannon @stonexemma
