About the Book

A haunting, mysterious tale imbued with the force of myth, by the award-winning author of A Kind of Intimacy.

When Annette Clifford returns to her childhood home on the edge of Morecambe Bay, she despairs: the long-empty house is crumbling, undermined by two voracious sycamores. What she doesn't realise is that she's not alone: her arrival has woken the spirits of her parents, who anxiously watch over her, longing to make amends. Because as the past comes back to Jack and Netty, they begin to see the summer of 1963 clearly, when Netty was desperately ill and a stranger moved in. Charismatic, mercurial Timothy Richardson, with his seemingly miraculous powers of healing, who drew all their attention away from Annette... Now, they must try to draw another stranger towards her, one who can rescue her.

Blurring the boundaries between the corporeal and spirit worlds and subtly echoing the myth of Baucis and Philemon, this is an eerily beautiful, evocative and highly original novel, which underlines the eternal potency of hope.

Review :
Praise for THE FRIDAY GOSPELS

'Utterly, compulsively readable, [it] could be this award-winning young author's best novel yet. - The Sunday Times

A serious, distinctive and eminently readable story of faith and family; about the demands of the world and the desires of the individual. - Independent on Sunday

Grim and comic in equal measures, this is an acutely observed account of growing up as a Latter-day Saint in Lancashire. - Observer

It is rare to find a novel that is so complex, so damn clever and yet at once readable... a truly exceptional novel. - Helen Walsh, author of BRASS

Jenn Ashworth's The Friday Gospels will make a nicely unsettling poolside read. Brought up in a Mormon family, here she turns her fictional talents to the Church of Latter-day Saints, both its dark and its hilarious sides. - Mary Beard, Summer Reads, Observer
