Though the Heavens May Fall by E V Thompson

Though the Heavens May Fall by E V Thompson

It is 1856. When three men are murdered in Cornwall, Amos Hawke, a Cornish detective working from London's Scotland Yard, is sent to investigate. He finds lodgings with one of the murdered men's wives - and her daughter, Talwyn. But while Amos's relationship with Talwyn gets off to a bad start, she is to prove crucial in helping him bring her father's killers to justice. A wonderful tale from a master storyteller, Though the Heavens May Fall has its heart and soul in the lore and landscape of Cornwall.

** 'Ambitious and loaded with a narrative energy you will not find - at the same pitch or in the same range - in the work of any of the big names in South African writing ? A masterpiece has arrived' South African SUNDAY TIMES ** 'These are huge subjects ? Without a doubt a novel of ideas but also a very musical one, an 'act of writing' in which van Niekerk poetically breathes new life and new possibility into the country' VRIJ NEDERLAND
