Out now - ANCESTRY

ANCESTRY IS ON THE LONGLIST FOR THE

WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION.

The Mail on Sunday (31/7/2022) calls ANCESTRY an "idiosyncratic gem of the book" with documentary records "flesh[ed] out...with soaring flights of imagination."

"ANCESTRY is utterly absorbing", says the Times (19/7/2022), "So cleverly constructed and beautifully written.

According to the Financial Times ANCESTRY is "An intriguing blend of archival research and fictionalised accounts" The novel is described as "gripping" and "genre-bending". The whole review is here but it's behind a paywall.

ANCESTRY is published in the United Kingdom and elsewhere by Little Brown and in the United States by Other Press.
