A fabulous fable of love, loss and family; timeless, placeless, compelling and beautifully written. A world where angry words become stinging insects, men can turn into beasts and infidelity is hidden by time-sensitive mists. It fits into the literary realm of ‘magical realism’, not how the world is, but how it could be if we let it. One of those books it is useless to talk about, you have to read it to appreciate it and I urge you to do so.

Up in the house that sits on the hill, a strange spell is brewing...To Meridia, growing up with her father Gabriel, who vanishes daily in clouds of mist, and her bewitching mother Ravenna, the outside world is a refuge. So when as a young woman her true love Daniel offers her marriage, it seems an escape to a more straightforward existence. Yet behind the welcoming facade of her new home lies a life of drudgery and a story even stranger than that she left behind.
