WINNER OF THE COSTA NOVEL AWARD 2021 SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S
PRIZE 2021 'Her strongest yet... a powerful, beautiful novel that
shows us our land as it really is: a place of shelter and cruelty,
innocence and experience' THE TIMES
__________________________________________________________________________
When you live on the edge of society, it only takes one step to
fall between the cracks Twins Jeanie and Julius have always been
different from other people. At 51 years old, they still live with
their mother, Dot, in rural isolation and poverty. Inside the walls
of their old cottage they make music, and in the garden they grow
(and sometimes kill) everything they need for sustenance. But when
Dot dies suddenly, threats to their livelihood start raining down.
Jeanie and Julius would do anything to preserve their small
sanctuary against the perils of the outside world, even as their
mother's secrets begin to unravel, putting everything they thought
they knew about their lives at stake. Unsettled Ground is a
powerful novel of betrayal and resilience, love and survival. It is
a portrait of life on the fringes of society that explores with
dazzling emotional power how we can build our lives on broken
foundations, and spin light from darkness.
