Reviews
Set at the very edge of the habitable world, and on the cusp of Christianity’s dominance, Mere invites us to tread dangerous paths on literal and metaphorical shifting sands. By doing so, it exposes the fears that corrupt human hearts when isolation and uncertainty cut us adrift from kindness – when base instinct and the drive for survival take supremacy. This is an artful and atmospheric novel that reveals uncomfortable truths about the way we lived then and, for the thoughtful, the way we live nowAnnie Garthwaite, author of Cecily and The King's Mother
