About This Book

A girl goes missing on Midsummer Eve on the moors above a small English village. The novel follows the lives of the villagers over the following thirteen years, as the community processes the absence, grief, and gossip that attend the disappearance. A formally radical novel told in a flat, accumulating prose that won the Costa Novel Award. Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2018.
