This novel held me captive from the first sentence. The protagonist, Jake, is as tough as the lonely life she has chosen, that of a sheepherder on a remote British coast. She battles unseen menace: something is mutilating her sheep, and she is running from a past the horror of which is revealed in flashbacks, in scars running along her spine, in phantom calls to a family back home, in a dramatic escape from a sheep station in the Australian bush, in snatches of memory. Lured by the language and sense of place, with danger lurking everywhere - in one memorable scene a picture slips from behind a headboard to release a nest of huntsman spiders onto the walls - I found this unforgettable novel, peopled with brutal characters struggling within a harsh environment to be a heart-stopping read. ~ Reviewed by Amy Palmer
