About the book

'Absolutely mesmerising' - Lucy Rose, bestselling author of The Lamb

Atonement meets Weyward in this striking historical debut from new talent Laura Evans about queer love, privilege and the intoxicating dangers of embracing the wild . . .

Suffolk, 1937. During a sweltering heatwave, preparations for a party are in full swing at Snare House. The Winthers’ only daughter, Joanie, is returning from a summer abroad before starting university. Only Margaret, ward of the family and Joanie’s closest friend, knows the truth: Joanie and Margaret are in love and plan to run away together.

But when Joanie’s father discovers their secret, Margaret’s world is turned upside down. Exiled to a tumble-down lodge in the woods with her estranged father and his colony of magpies, she finds herself becoming wild. As the heatwave refuses to break, Margaret must decide whether to give in to her new, dark impulses in a bid to get what she most desires . . .

'Debut novels don't get much better than this' - Erin Kelly, author of The House of Mirrors

About the Author

Laura Evans

Laura Evans was born in Lancashire and grew up in the Midlands. She studied Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at university before coming in a roundabout way to journalism, where she became a magazine editor specialising in travel and nature. As an author, she is drawn to characters and settings that aren’t quite as they seem – places with an edge of the uncanny, or people trying to find their space in the world – as well as stories that centre on the female experience and women’s evolving self-identities. A lifelong city-dweller who romanticises the countryside (but knows it would eat her alive), she spent several years in both London and Bristol before making her way to Norwich, where she lives with her husband, children, and Maggie, the world’s friendliest cockapoo.
