As the feelings of dread build the haunting rites of the past begin to bleed into the present… ‘This book ratcheted the breath out of me so skilfully, that as soon as I’d finished, the only thing I wanted was to read it again’ Jessie Burton ‘An instant classic’ Emma Donoghue ‘I loved it’ Bernadine Evaristo
