The Knowing

Beautiful, intoxicating and full of suspense, The Knowing is a story of love and obsession, betrayal and retribution and how women survive and weaponize trauma.

'Dark, atmospheric and compulsive, The Knowing is a bewitching book that kept me up reading late into the night'

'If you love Sarah Waters and dark historical fiction, you will no doubt be hooked.'

'Vivid, visceral and utterly immersive. Extraordinary'

'You can smell the spit and sawdust rising from the pages of this atmospheric gothic novel.'

‘I adored this atmospheric, gripping, dark-as-night tale about a tattooed mystic trying to survive the slums and glittering facades of 19th century New York, I compel you ALL to read it’
