As Meat Loves Salt by Maria Mccann
Jacob is an educated manservant in a loyalist household. He is fearful of being identified as the murderer of a local boy, and is forced to flee on the day of his wedding feast, dragging his new wife with him. He proceeds to wreak havoc on the lives of others, but mostly on his own fortunes.
'Few novels in a reader's year live in the mind as this one doesIt's beautifully written, spare, with moments of poetry. Surely flesh has never been described with such a combination of pathology and beauty.' GILLIAN CLARKE
Maria McCann was born in Liverpool in 1956 and spent most of her childhood there devouring novels at every opportunity. She read English at the University of Durham and then embarked on a series of jobs including Citizens' Advice, telephonist, artist's model and EFL teacher. Since 1988 she has been a Lecturer in English at a Somerset college. An Arvon course gave her the confidence to write after years of 'scribbling' and she later read for an MA in Writing at the University of Glamorgan. She loves plays, gin, dancing and dogs. This is her first novel.
