SINOPSE
SHORTLISTED FOR THE SCOTLAND'S NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR DEBUT FICTION
FINALIST FOR THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR FIRST FICTION
As always with these things, it started with a birthday party.
On a bright summer day in 1989 New England, Abi, three years old, vanishes from her aunt’s secluded home. Upstairs, her young cousins are looking out of the window. Something is unfolding in the distance at the edge of the forest - something sinister that is watching them back.
The adults don’t seem to notice that the youngest of the group has disappeared. Too busy bickering over politics and reminiscing about the family’s domineering late matriarch, Beezy, they leave the children with no choice but to get Abi back themselves. As the cousins embark on a quest through their grandmother’s sprawling estate, buried family secrets come to light and long-awaited plans are set in motion. Will they lose themselves while trying to find her?
Idle Grounds is a chilling, evocative and darkly comic debut about childhood, legacy, and the burdens and privileges we carry with us.

CRÍTICAS
'Ambitious, wildly original ... it will trick and tease you to the bitter end.'
THE TIMES
'Singular and potent ... Unsettling and sharply funny with carefully built-up layers of dis-ease in a comic deadpan.'
GUARDIAN
'A masterclass in misdirection.'
FINANCIAL TIMES
'Unsettling, puckish, and brilliantly written, this novel is an absolute one-off.'
CLAIRE FULLER, Women's Prize shortlisted author of Unsettled Ground
'Magical, perplexing, and funny in a wholly original way.'
RACHEL YODER, author of Nightbitch
'A remarkable, preternatural study of a family reckoning with its own history.'
THE TELEGRAPH
'An acid trip of a novel. Weird, sinister and darkly funny.'
AMY TWIGG, author of Spoilt Creatures
'An unforgettable narrative voice.'
FRANCINE TOON, bestselling author of Pine
