Synopsis
“Murray’s latest novel, set in crumbling postwar England, brings a 21st-century sensibility to a haunted Victorian house. Sugar Hall is host to themes of slavery, migration, exploitation, and history’s habit of updating its uglier productions with new actors and costumes.” – David Mitchell
Easter 1955. As Britain waits for a hanging, Dieter Sugar finds a boy in the red gardens of Sugar Hall: a boy who wears a silver collar. In the great house, Dieter’s mother, Lilia, scrapes the rust from the locks, the ice from the windows and battles with her own ghosts. But there are pasts hiding with the moths and rats that Lilia cannot remove so easily. Sugar Hall holds a secret: a history that has been buried but not forgotten.
Based on the haunting stories of Littledean Hall in the Forest of Dean, this is a superbly spine tingling tale, and the perfect accompaniment for dark nights. Selected by David Mitchell as one of his top six ghost stories.
