'One of the most stunning literary experiences I've had in years'
Irvine Welsh 'Dazzlingly ambitious' Douglas Stuart, author of
Shuggie Bain 'A gloriously transgressive novel' Ian Rankin 1910,
Edinburgh. Jessie, the devil's daughter, arrives on the doorstep of
an imposing tenement building and knocks on a freshly painted
wooden door. She has been sent by her father to bear a child for a
wealthy couple, but, when things go wrong, she places a curse on
the building and all who live there - and it lasts a century.
Caught in the crossfire are the residents of 10 Luckenbooth Close,
and they all have their own stories to tell. While the world
outside is changing, inside, the curse creeps up all nine floors
and through each door. Soon, the building's longest kept secret -
the truth of what happened to Jessie - will finally be heard.
