'Hall has set a bar . . . Finely wrought, intellectually brave and
emotionally honest.' THE SCOTSMAN In the bedroom above her immense
studio at Burntcoat, the celebrated sculptor Edith Harkness is
making her final preparations. The symptoms are well known: her
life will draw to an end in the coming days. Downstairs, the studio
is a crucible glowing with memories and desire. It was here, when
the first lockdown came, that she brought Halit. The lover she
barely knew. A presence from another culture. A doorway into a new
and feverish world. 'Sarah Hall makes language shimmer and burn . .
. One of the finest writers at work today.' DAMON GALGUT 'Wonderful
. . . The writing goes down smoking hot onto the page.' ANDREW
MILLER 'Transporting . . . A beautiful novel, full of heat and
darkness.' AVNI DOSHI 'I can think of no other British writer whose
talent so consistently thrills, surprises and staggers . . . With
Burntcoat she has solidified her status as the literary shining
light we lesser souls aspire to.' BENJAMIN MYERS
