A DAILY MAIL STARS BOOK OF THE YEAR A FOYLES BEST BOOK OF 2017
'Langdale is excellent . . . The Brittle Star is a great beginning
to what I hope is a long and productive career' Guardian If a man
beats you, you never let your anger show, never at the time. You
wait, until he least expects it, until nobody remembers that you
were angry at all . . . In 1860s Southern California, life on the
Burn ranch has been peaceful for 15-year-old John Evert since the
death of his father. But recently there have been violent raids on
nearby properties, where it's not just cattle and horses that are
taken, but women too. And when the white-painted men arrive at the
Burn ranch on horses in the dead of night, John Evert is
near-fatally injured, his beloved mother spirited away, and their
house torched to the ground. Setting out on a journey to find his
mother and reclaim his land, John Evert will fight in the Civil War
and befriend an outlaw, challenge his assumptions and fall in love,
before returning to fledgling Los Angeles older, sager and set on
revenge . . . 'Fans of Annie Proulx, or Cormac McCarthy's Border
Trilogy will love her eloquent descriptions of California's rural
terrain' Henry Deedes, Daily Mail 'This book artfully blends
careful research with beautiful writing. This young British writer
is clearly incredibly talented and versatile, and I hope this will
be the first book in a long and fruitful career' Historical Novel
