_____
1915, the Cabrach. In the fierce, wild beauty of this remote corner of Scotland, an isolated community makes a discovery: an ancient body in a peat bog, perfectly preserved.
Two people haul the body from the ground: Lizzie, the wife of a wealthy local landowner, and Johnny, a nomadic singer and farm hand.
Soon afterwards, strange events begin to occur. At hearthside and inn, people whisper: what have we unearthed?
As tensions run high and men leave for war, old fears and secrets emerge. But in a place where judgement is swift, who is truly without sin?
Praise for Greater Sins:
'A striking and atmospheric debut' THE TIMES
'The unearthing of a womans body in a peat bog during the first world war is the catalyst for a gritty tale of secrets, guilt and desire' OBSERVER
'A haunting picture of a small, intense environment where isolation can breed solidarity and warmth as easily as superstition and exclusion' FINANCIAL TIMES
'Sets a beautifully atmospheric scene from its opening lines to its final moments . . . a compelling and powerful read.' PA MEDIA
'An atmospheric and assured debut' DAILY MAIL
'I absolutely raced through it! What a beautiful book. The prose is so lyrical and the structure so cleverly pulls the reader along - Hanna Thomas Uose, author of WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER
'A haunting and extraordinary debut, which will stay with me for a long time. Set during World War One and told in tender, sinuous prose, this is a simmering tale of outcasts and buried secrets, love and redemption' Danielle Giles, author of MERE
'Dripping with atmosphere, GREATER SINS is a hauntingly beautiful story, set in an isolated community. The writing is stunning; every phrase, every sentence is like poetry. And the characters - theyre complex, fascinating, and oh so relatable. A truly unforgettable read' Fiza Saeed McLynn, author of THE MIDNIGHT CAROUSEL
'A darkly lyrical tale packed with secrets, intertwined relationships and a smattering of folklore. The characters are so richly woven, and the harsh rural world they inhabit so compelling, I could almost feel the chill, and taste the drams' Emma Cowing, author of THE SHOW WOMAN
