girls find themselves outside the hospital for the first time, a
dark mystery unravelling ... The first teen novel from Angharad
Walker, author of critically-acclaimed The Ash House Angharad's
writing evokes the clever, unique world-building and philosophical
themes of Pullman's His Dark Materials while remaining startlingly
original The story follows two sisters in a London-inspired city
full of fantastical illness and sprawling, gothic hospitals where
dark secrets linger beneath the surface Praise for THE ASH HOUSE:
'An unexpected - and pleasing - combination of propitious and
disquieting.' KIRKUS REVIEWS 'Walker's immersive story slowly
reveals its secrets, using tension as a lever to tip the reader
deep into the Ash House's mysteries.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'The book
has allegorical chill that settles slowly, like damp seeping in . .
. leaving readers with a feeling of ambiguous unease that may stir
for a long time in the back of their minds like the after-effects
of a nightmare.' THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
