Description



About the Book



In this explosive debut, a troubled young Yorkshire farmer's carefully constructed reality is threatened after a rebellious teenage girl from London moves in next door.



From the Back Cover



Sam Marsdyke is a lonely young man, dogged by an incident in his past and forced to work his family farm instead of attending school in his Yorkshire village. He methodically fills his life with daily routines and adheres to strict boundaries that keep him at a remove from the townspeople. But one day he spies Josephine, his new neighbor from London. From that moment on, Sam's carefully constructed protections begin to crumble--and what starts off as a harmless friendship between an isolated loner and a defiant teenage girl takes a most disturbing turn.



Review Quotes




"Ross Raisin's story of how a disturbed but basically well-intentioned rural youngster turns into a malevolent sociopath is both chilling in its effect and convincing in its execution." - J. M. Coetzee
