An atmospheric and unsettling story of the depths of grief found in
an ancient farm in northern England, soon to be a major motion
picture starring Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark. The worst thing
possible has happened. Richard and Juliette Willoughby's son, Ewan,
has died suddenly at the age of five. Starve Acre, their house by
the moors, was to be full of life, but is now a haunted place.
Convinced Ewan still lives there in some form, Juliette seeks the
help of the Beacons, a seemingly benevolent group of occultists.
Richard, to try and keep the boy out of his mind, has turned his
attention to the field opposite the house, where he patiently digs
the barren dirt in search of a legendary oak tree. But as they
delve further into their grief, both uncover more than they set out
to. Starve Acre is a devastating new novel by the author of the
prize-winning bestseller The Loney. It is a novel about the way in
which grief splits the world in two and how, in searching for hope,
we can so easily unearth horror.
