Impossible Causes

'A claustrophobic tale of outsiders versus insiders, religious fervour versus age-old paganism and, ultimately, women and men. A tightly told and powerful story of sins, lies and secrets long held' i The arrival of three strangers on Lark, a remote island with a population of 300, is the cause of much speculation. The first is a young teacher - the only male teacher on the island - the other two, a bereaved mother and her teenage daughter. What have they come to escape? What will they find waiting for them on Lark? And whose body will soon be found lying in the island's stone circle? 'This highly atmospheric tale is both thrilling and poignant' Heat Eerie and menacing, timely and moving, Impossible Causes is an unputdownable novel that examines the consequences of silence kept at young women's expense.
