" The worst thing possible has happened. Richard and Juliette Willoughby’s son, Ewan, has died suddenly at the age of five. Starve Acre, their house by the moors, was to be full of life, but is now a haunted place.
Juliette, convinced Ewan still lives there in some form, seeks the help of the Beacons, a seemingly benevolent group of occultists. Richard, to try and keep the boy out of his mind, has turned his attention to the field opposite the house, where he patiently digs the barren dirt in search of a legendary oak tree .. "
Starve Acre is a devastating new novel by the author of the prize-winning bestseller The Loney. It is a novel about the way in which grief splits the world in two and how, in searching for hope, we can so easily unearth horror.
This very intriguing read has been put forward by Emma (emzbez ) .. no prizes for guessing that really, seeing as there is a rabbit (ok, hare) on the front cover ..
A gothic style atmospheric horror woven around a folk tale, may be a new genre to some of you - it has an average score of 3.8 on GR .. hopefully, there will be lots to discuss ..
Quarter 2 runs from April to June, so you have plenty of time to grab a copy (hopefully) from the Library or other on-line services .. obviously, if your Library etc isn't open, you are more than welcome to join in at another time & add your review / comments to the thread at a later date ..
