Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When Sybil meets a sudden ugly death, her granddaughter awakes from a nightmare on the other side of the world--Kim Wilkins' The Resurrectionistis full of coincidences that turn out to be nothing of the sort, of which this is only the first. Maisie has drifted into a career in music for which she feels no especial love; going to England to sort out her grandmother's effects is a way to get away from the cello and musician parents who cannot understand her lack of commitment to what they love. The village of Solgreve has more than its share of secrets--Maisie finds herself loathed just for being there, just for being who she is. And because of who she is, because of how she is treated, she starts asking questions and soon finds some surprising answers--but with surprising ways of getting them. This is a powerful thriller about a young woman coming into psychic power and finding out that her situation and the threats which surround her are much worse than she could ever have dreamed or imagined. Consistently inventive and emotionally draining, this, even more than Wilkins' earlier Grimoire and The Infernal, establishes her as a name to watch in the dark-fantastic. --Roz Kaveney
Product Description
Young Australian cellist Maisie Fielding is bored with her career and her overpowering, manipulative musical family. Faking a wrist injury, she takes time off to return to England, her mother's home country, to search for her own roots and to find out more about her grandmother, a 'white witch' who settled in a bleak village on the North Yorkshire coast. Maisie's mother is set against her going, and refuses to tell her daughter anything about the woman, other than that - even dead - she is dangerous. On her arrival in Solgreve, she receives a hostile welcome from her new neighbours and begins to find clues to her grandmother's mysterious death. Amongst the clutter in her grandmother's house is a diary written by a young French woman who eloped with a penniless English poet and settled in the village. Through this diary, Maisie discovers the existence of an unnatural presence which still preys on the lives of the people of the village, past and present. This book will appeal to the huge Anne Rice market: a gothic, romantic horror story with a credible, strong and extremely likeable heroine at the heart of it, backed by atmospheric descriptions of Yorkshire and a convincing setting in the music world.
