A coming-of-age novel of troubled adolescence set in the wilds of Scotland, Elspeth Barker's only novel is a dark, glittering gothic classic
'A sparky, funny work of genius' Ali Smith
At the bottom of a great stone staircase, dressed in her mother's black lace evening dress, twisted in murderous death, lies Janet. So end the sixteen years of Janet's short life.
A life spent in a draughty Scottish castle, where roses will not grow, and a jackdaw decides to live in the doll's house.
A life peopled by prettier, smoother-haired siblings, a Nanny with a face like the North Sea and the peculiar, whisky-swigging Cousin Lila.
A life where Janet is perpetually misunderstood - and must turn from people, to animals, to books, to her own wild and wonderful imagination.
A W&N Essential with an introduction from Maggie O'Farrell
