Description
The Hidden People by Alison Littlewood is a chilling Gothic mystery that weaves together superstition and myth with tragic consequences. When Pretty Lizzie Higgs is found burned to death, her husband's insistence that she was a changeling raises more questions than answers. Albie Mirralls travels to the village of Halfoak, where old tales hold sway and the 'Hidden People' are said to roam, in search of truth about his cousin's murder. As he delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a web of secrets and tragedy that threatens to consume him. Set against the picturesque backdrop of 19th-century England, this unsettling scenario is both intriguing and beautifully written, with prose convincingly dated and lyrical.
