Join us on Thursday 10th September at 7pm on Zoom where we will be talking to Michael a all about his book 'The Innocents', how he found the writing process, his inspiration for the book and much more. If you have any questions you would like to ask Michael please email them to antonia@books-on-the-hill.co.uk prior to the event as there will be a small amount of time saved for some extra questions.
"In centuries past, a brother and sister are orphaned in an isolated outport cove on Newfoundland’s northern coastline. Their home is a stretch of rocky shore governed by the feral ocean, by a relentless pendulum of abundance and murderous scarcity. Still children with only the barest notion of the outside world, they have nothing but the family’s boat and the little knowledge passed on haphazardly by their mother and father to help them survive.
Muddling through the severe round of the seasons, through years of meagre catches and storms and ravaging illness, it is their fierce loyalty to each other that motivates and sustains them. But as seasons pass and they wade deeper into the mystery of their own natures, even that loyalty will be tested."
