Synopsis

⭐ Out now: The Land in Winter, shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2025 ⭐

The Crossing: a hypnotic, luminous exploration of buried grief and the mysterious workings of the heart.
'Enthralling'
Financial Times

'Remarkable'

'Hypnotic'
Mail on Sunday

Who else has entered Tim's life the way Maud did? This young woman who fell past him, lay seemingly dead on the ground, then stood and walked. That was where it all began.

As magnetic as she is inscrutable, Maud defies expectations and evades explanation - a daughter, girlfriend and mother who, in the wake of a tragedy, embarks on a dangerous voyage across the Atlantic, not knowing where it will lead . . .
