The Barrowfields

'A beautiful, evocative novel with an amazing sense of place and an understated, dark sensibility. A brilliant debut.'Jenni Fagan, author of The Panopticon'A novel this good is a rare thing. Elegiac and timeless, THE BARROWFIELDS is an unforgettable evocation of an American saga gone wrong. Reading it is like cracking open the tattered first edition of a classic you somehow missed but just pulled from your father's bookshelf'David Gilbert, author of & Sons'THE BARROWFIELDS knows that the worst hauntings happen not in old houses but in troubled minds. The psychological landscape is craggy in this vivid update on Southern Gothic steeped in gorgeous vernacular and full of characters ready to walk off the page . . . the reader is helpless in his hands.' Matthew Thomas, author of We Are Not Ourselves'One of the great discoveries of the year. This is a debut so assured in its sense of place and history that it will leave you in awe of what Lewis has accomplished here: a sorrowful, beautiful ode to the bond of family, the ghosts that haunt us, and the stories that shape us.' Paul Yoon, author of Snow Hunters
