The Map of Bones by Francesca Haig

The Map of Bones by Francesca Haig

The second book in Francesca Haigs incredible Fire Sermon series. Set in a vividly realised world of elite Alphas and their weaker Omega twins, it holds a mirror up to our obsession with perfection The Guardian

‘The Map of Bones is a wonderful book – thrilling, emotionally engaging, booby-trapped with some incredibly inventive twists and turns and some excellent action sequences and, from beginning to end, it is intensely movingLike its predecessor, this is a book that forces us to consider what it means to be human, and how important it is to respect the humanity in others. Francesca Haig’s writing is exquisite, loaded with turns of phrase and lines of dialogue that are so perfect and so beautifully realised, it reminds us how powerful the written word can be. And, on top of all that, it is – along with The Fire Sermon – the most exciting and rewarding novel we have read in a very, very long time. You have got to read these books, they are storytelling at its absolute finest.’ STARBURST.
