'Bone House' is the tale of two women. The icy death of the first, a large voluptuous and charismatic prostitute, transforms the lives of all around her: her giant son, a hunchbacked lord, his decaying mother, and a painter, whose arrival in the village threatens them all.
The second is slight and solitary - a servant, whose investigations into the prostitute's strange death result in a terrible discovery, and the beginnings of a future.
Set in 1603, 'Bone House' is a novel about bodies and flesh, desire and murder, medicine, superstition and mundanity. Elegant, sensual, fiercely compelling, this is a shockingly assured and modern debut.
