<strong>A village haunted by stories. Two women bound by a secret.</strong><p><strong>A haunting gothic tale of ancient darkness and a love that defies convention, from <em>Sunday Times</em> #1 bestseller Bridget Collins.</strong></p><p><strong>'At once a moving study of women's lives after the First World War, an exquisite love story and a terrifying folk horror. So beautifully written that I could hardly bear to stop reading, this is Bridget Collins at her beguiling best' EMILIA HART</strong></p><p><strong>'A spine-chillingly scary romance and a heartwarmingly romantic horror novel... I raced through it at breakneck speed even as I wished it would go on forever. Beautifully written, thrillingly imagined, and a joy on every page' SANDRA NEWMAN</strong></p><p><strong>'I honestly never thought another author could rival Sarah Waters... but I was wrong. I haven't read a historical novel quite as good as this in years!' LOUISE MORRISH</strong></p><p>Watching over the village of Haltington is an ancient carving in the ground, known to locals simply as the Face. It was first etched into the chalk when lives were ruled by superstition and stories; by fear of the unknown, of the shadows.</p><p>For centuries, the inhabitants of Bone Cottage have tended to it. But now that the Great War has decimated the population of even this most isolated of places, the Face stands neglected and overgrown.</p><p>When enigmatic outsider Kit moves into the cottage, the villagers are suspicious of her androgynous appearance and bohemian ways. In defiance of their disapproval, the vicar's unmarried sister-in-law Florence finds herself inexplicably drawn to Kit, and the friendship that grows between them becomes a light in the dark for her.</p><p>But the Face calls things to it, and now Florence and Kit are in its path...</p><p><strong>A haunting gothic tale of ancient darkness and a love that defies convention, from <em>Sunday Times</em> #1 bestseller Bridget Collins.</strong></p><strong>READ
