Description
Dark Earth by Rebecca Stott is a superbly crafted novel that radically reweaves ancient legend into a beautiful and poignant tale. Against the backdrop of AD 500, a young woman named Isla discovers her father's forbidden sword-making skills, while her sister Blue visits the bones of the mud woman at low tide on each new moon. As trouble pursues them across the water to the walled ghost city of Londinium, they find sanctuary in an underworld community led by the enigmatic Crowther. But this world of squatters, emigrants, and looters is fraught with danger, and Isla and Blue must navigate its treacherous landscape to survive. This novel pulses with the energy of a brave new world, where myth and magic can be both beautiful and deadly. With its richly evocative prose, Dark Earth explores the experience of women in a world ruled by blood ties and men, creating a thrilling and unforgettable reading experience.
