Now a major Apple TV series starring Claire Danes and Tom
Hiddleston THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER 'A blissful novel
of unapologetic appetites ... here is a writer who understands
life' JESSIE BURTON, author of THE MINIATURIST London, 1893. When
Cora Seaborne's controlling husband dies, she steps into her new
life as a widow with as much relief as sadness. Along with her son
Francis - a curious, obsessive boy - she leaves town for Essex, in
the hope that fresh air and open space will provide refuge. On
arrival, rumours reach them that the mythical Essex Serpent, once
said to roam the marshes claiming lives, has returned to the
coastal parish of Aldwinter. Cora, a keen amateur naturalist with
no patience for superstition, is enthralled, convinced that what
the local people think is a magical beast may be a yet-undiscovered
species. As she sets out on its trail, she is introduced to William
Ransome, Aldwinter's vicar, who is also deeply suspicious of the
rumours, but thinks they are a distraction from true faith. As he
tries to calm his parishioners, Will and Cora strike up an intense
relationship, and although they agree on absolutely nothing, they
find themselves at once drawn together and torn apart, affecting
each other in ways that surprise them both. The Essex Serpent is a
thrilling and unforgettable novel of intrigue, love, and the many
forms it can take. A modern classic perfect for fans of Jessie
Burton, Sarah Waters and Stacey Halls, THE ESSEX SERPENT is now a
major Apple TV series starring Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston.
