What better way is there to deal with religious and family trauma than to run away to a remote island off Scotland and have an affair with a vampire? Genevieve Jagger’s gothic debut is a look into the hidden ugliness within Catholic institutions and the consequences it can have in the lives of those who grow within them – particularly relating to sin and sex. With beautiful, poetic writing, and a perfect atmosphere Jagger dives into the depths of human emotion and the mess we all carry inside.
