SYNOPSIS
‘The Loney is not just good, it’s great. It’s an amazing piece of fiction’ Stephen King
Easter 1976.
Two teenage brothers, one mute, the other his lifelong protector, set off on a retreat with their parents and others from their church to a Catholic shrine on a wild, ever-changing stretch of Lancashire coastline known as the Loney. Led by new incumbent Father Bernard, the pilgrims dutifully observe the traditions leading up to the Resurrection, but the boys learn that there is a much older, darker power to be found in the landscape itself, one which is being tapped by strange rituals on the tidal island of Coldbarrow.
Many years later, a child’s body is discovered, and the two brothers are forced to confront the horrors of the past.
The Loney always gives up its secrets, in the end.
WINNER OF THE 2015 COSTA FIRST NOVEL AWARD
THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016
‘This is a novel of the unsaid, the implied, the barely grasped or understood, crammed with dark holes and blurry spaces that your imagination feels compelled to fill’ Observer
‘A masterful excursion into terror’ The Sunday Times

REVIEWS
Um bom livro para uma noite de inverno
Rita dias
O livro tornou-se muito melhor do que esperava! Com uma névoa de mistério e cenários cinzentos, personagens com personalidades muito vincadas e um enredo muito cativante, acho que é um livro que nos prende do inicio ao fim
Misterioso
rita dias
o livro está muito bem conseguido. com poucas personagens (mas quase todas sinistras) e cenários bem descritos e que nos envolvem por completo. melhor ainda se for lido no inverno!
Peculiar
Dina
Nunca tinha lido algo semelhante, mas foi uma leitura bastante interessante. Há uma onda de mistério e algo que quase faz arrepiar a espinha em toda a complicada história do que passaram a personagem principal e o seu irmão na sua infância no "Loney". Algumas questões vão ter resposta, mas outras ficarão a cargo do leitor de tentar responder.
