Sarah Hall's novel "Burntcoat" is an electrifying tale of passion, connection, and transformation. The Guardian hails it as a writer of "show-stopping genius." The book is described as dark and brilliant, with SARAH MOSS calling it a masterpiece and DAISY JOHNSON praising it as extraordinary. SARAH PERRY describes it as searing and Sarah Hall's best work yet. JON McGREGOR notes that you were the last one here before he closed the door of Burntcoat, before everyone shut their doors.
In the bedroom above her immense studio at Burntcoat, the celebrated sculptor Edith Harkness is making her final preparations. The symptoms are well known: her life will draw to an end in the coming days.
Downstairs, the studio is a crucible glowing with memories and desire. It was here, when the first lockdown came, that she brought Halit. The lover she barely knew. A presence from another culture. A doorway into a new and feverish world.
One of the best books of the year.
TELEGRAPH praises Hall for setting a bar with her finely wrought, intellectually brave, and emotionally honest writing. The Scotsman describes her as one of the finest writers at work today, while DAMON GALGUT praises her for making language shimmer and burn. ANDREW MILLER calls it transporting, and AVNI DOSHI praises her talent for consistently thrilling, surprising, and staggering readers.
With "Burntcoat," Sarah Hall has solidified her status as the literary shining light we lesser souls aspire to. BENJAMIN MYERS concludes that the book is a must-read for anyone who loves exceptional storytelling.
