Field Ramble
Field Ramble with Edward Carey & Erin E. Adams
Two suitably spooky novels on this episode.
First up, Erin E. Adams and her debut, Jackal. Published in the UK by Dead Ink Books and set in contemporary Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Jackal is the story of one woman’s determination to uncover the truth around the disappearance of a number of young black girls. A taught, psychological thriller, Erin’s skill is undoubtedly in underscoring the existent horror within US society today.
'A tight, thought provoking novel that transcends genre'
Los Angeles Review of Books
'Erin E.Adams makes me proud to be a psychological thriller writer.'
Gillian Flynn
Then, Edith Holler. Set at the turn of the 20th century, within the confines of the Holler theatre in Norwich this the story of 12 year old Edith and her bloody battles with the sinister figure of Mawther Meg. Cursed to never leave the theatre and in thrall to her own domineering father, it is the tale of a young writer finding her own voice and a deeply personal love letter to the arts.
'Umissable'
Olga Tokarczuk
'Delightful, eccentric, heartfelt, surprising, philosophical.'
Eleanor Catton
