Let Them Go

New Century 1 - Let Them Go.jpg

When a Man’s world falls to pieces, where can a Woman stand?

A remote and ancient house in Cornwall, 1872. Rebecca Wolverton just wants to get the reading of her father’s will over and done with, then journey home with her sister, Amanda, to run their shop in Bristol… but time is not on their side. It is Halloween; a night when things that are outside will try to get in, and what is inside will try to get out. The two sisters, along with their aunt Cleo, their lawyer Mr Dawson, and Amanda’s husband Rafe, are in for the worst evening of their lives, and not all of them will see the dawn. Let Them Go is a gripping, mysterious Gothic romance, as well as a provocative commentary from the writer of Secret Rooms, Arlington and the award-winning Tiger’s Eye.

(Originally The Cartographer’s Handbook was Book 1, first published back in December 2013. However Let Them Go was written four years later as an ideal entry point to the series and takes place chronologically at the beginning. Cartographers is now Book 3.)

Book 1: Published July 2018

“An intimate drama with deeply affecting performances, a rich Gothic atmosphere, and a journey that resonates, by being about the struggle to carry on in those moments we’re overtaken by grief, as well as the value of inspiration...”
