Synopsis
The world has been ravaged by climate change and Rachel is left to fend for herself. Living amid a clutch of disparate communities whose inhabitants she chooses to avoid, she rarely ventures beyond the safety of the storm wall. But when Jez White disturbs her twilight existence, Rachel finds herself in a murky territory somewhere between stalking and being stalked.
A story of survival and obsession, this complex psychological portrait framed by compelling drama, it is by turns sensual, poignant and sinister.

Review
‘An exquisitely crafted debut.’ Guardian
‘Imaginative, clever and darkly claustrophobic.’ Big Issue
‘A fascinating study in the effects of isolation and paranoia. Told with passion and real skill... a disturbing but rewarding read that makes a virtue of brevity and a narrow focus.’ The Bookbag
‘Fans of post-apocalyptic parables will be well pleased.’ Guardian
‘It is very atmospheric and certainly leaves an indelible imprint on the psyche.’ Open Book, BBC Radio 4
‘Chillingly believable... Sinister, scary and utterly compelling, it is hard to believe that this strong, confident writing comes from a debut novelist. Read it if you dare.’ Red ‘Evocative and intriguing, this novel deserves an audience.’ Argus
'This is a troubling, beautifully composed novel, rich in its brevity and complex in the psychological portrait it paints.’ Booksquawk
‘A decidedly original tale... Psychologically sophisticated, it demands our attention. Ignore it, O Philistines, at your peril.’ Bookgroup Info
‘A story of sexual obsession and broken trust, with the sodden (and wonderfully rendered) landscape a constant, literally atmospheric presence.’
