About the Book

Set in seventeenth-century rural England, BONE HOUSE is the tale of two women. One is large, voluptuous and charismatic - a prostitute to whom many, not just men, are drawn. The other is young, slight and solitary - a servant whose quest to solve the mystery of the prostitute's death leads her to shocking discoveries, unexpected love, and the beginnings of a future. Gothic, elegant, sensual, and fiercely compelling, BONE HOUSE is an uncommonly assured debut.

Betsy Tobin is the acclaimed author of four novels: BONE HOUSE, short-listed for the Commonwealth Prize and winner of a Herodotus Prize in America, THE BOUNCE, ICE LAND, and CRIMSON CHINA, a BBC Radio 4 Book-At-Bedtime and shortlisted for Epic Romantic Novel of the Year. Her books have been published throughout Europe and North America and two have been optioned for feature film. Betsy also writes for stage and radio, and is a past winner of the London Writers' Competition for her short story, JOYRIDE.

Review :
Remarkable...here is an author to watch for the future. -- Publishing News Wonderful, poignant and gripping...Betsy Tobin has skillfully portrayed life in a 17th-century English village as well as written a compelling mystery. -- Tracy Chevalier An elegant, haunting novel...The realistic period detail is meticulously rendered, and the naturalness of the heroine's thought processes and inner life adds to the authenticity. -- Publishers Weekly A polished debut novel...Tobin's nearly measured prose cuts through a tangle of dark and dirty secrets with pearly clarity and precision...Her writing has weight and resonance. -- Time Out Elegant and engrossing. -- Chicago Tribune An entertaining and highly original first novel. -- Harpers & Queen A darkly mesmerizing debut from an author who promises to astonish us further. -- Yorkshire Post Vividly compelling...a brilliant debut. -- The Lady Eloquently written...a jolly good read. -- Mslexia A gripping narrative shimmering with psychological depth. -- The New York Times A surprisingly delicate murder mystery, tempered by great detail and remarkable control. -- Los Angeles Times Mesmerizes the reader with its gentle mysticism, carnal themes, and dreamlike qualities...A fine gothic novel which burrows under the skin. -- The Times A fable with a darkly modern edge. -- Daily Mail Bone House convincingly conjures a world where folklore, science and religion hold equal sway, where citizens may be tried for witchcraft and the truth is sought in dreams. -- Wall Street Journal
