Bone House Summary

Bone House by Betsy Tobin

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.

Bone House Reviews

'Betsy Tobin('s debut novel) mesmerises the reader with its gentle mysticism, carnal themes and dream-like qualities...a fine gothic novel which burrows under the skin' THE TIMES

'A wonderful and moving novel...it deserves the widest possible readership' Iain Pears, author of AN INSTANCE OF THE FINGERPOST

'Wonderful! Betsy Tobin has skillfully portrayed life in a 17th-century English village as well as written a compelling mystery. The maid's voice is deceptively clear, the plot subtly twisty-turny, and the results are poignant and gripping' Tracy Chevalier, author of GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING

'Provocative [and] gripping...a tale shimmering with psychological depth' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

'Tobin cuts through a tangle of dark and dirty secrets...with pearly clarity....A compelling story of haunted lives' Time Out

Taut and assured...[a] seductive story' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
