Description
Dark and brilliant. - SARAH MOSS
A masterpiece. - DAISY JOHNSON
Extraordinary. - SARAH PERRY
In the bedroom above her immense studio at Burntcoat, the celebrated sculptor Edith Harkness is making her final preparations. The symptoms are well known: her life will draw to an end in the coming days.
Downstairs, the studio is a crucible glowing with memories and desire. It was here, when the first lockdown came, that she brought Halit. The lover she barely knew. A presence from another culture. A doorway into a new and feverish world.
Sarah Hall makes language shimmer and burn . . . One of the finest writers at work today. - DAMON GALGUT
Wonderful . . . The writing goes down smoking hot onto the page. - ANDREW MILLER
I can think of no other British writer whose talent so consistently thrills, surprises and staggers . . . With Burntcoat she has solidified her status as the literary shining light we lesser souls aspire to. - BENJAMIN MYERS
