The Number 1 American Bestseller finally arrives in the UK. ‘A stern, gripping drama ... You begin to feel, as you sometimes do when reading Cormac McCarthy’s early novels, that the author has been typing with blood on his hands and a good deal of it has rubbed off onto your shirtsleeves. Don’t ignore this book.’ The New York Times
At the beginning of the 20th Century there is a most unusual woman living in Gap Creek, isolated in the Appalachian high country. Julie Harmon works hard, ‘hard as a man’, they say, so hard that at times she’s not sure she can stop. People depend on her. They need her to slaughter the hogs and nurse the dying. People are weak and there is much to do. She is just a teenager when her brother dies in her arms. The same year that she marries Hank and moves down into the valley. In the first year of their marriage, Julie and Hank discover that the modern world is more complex than even they could imagine, and to survive they must find out whether love can keep chaos and madness at bay.

At the end of the nineteenth century a most unusual woman lives in Gap Creek, isolated in the Appalachian high country. Julie Harmon works hard, ‘hard as a man’, they say. So hard that at times she’s not sure if she can stop. People depend on her. They need her to cut the wood, to slaughter the hogs. To nurse the dying. She is just a teenager when her brother dies in her arms, the same year that she marries Hank and moves down into the valley. And in the first year of their marriage, Julie and Hand discover that the modern world is more complex than they could have imagined, and to survive they must find out whether love can keep chaos and madness at bay.
With great dignity and clarity, award-winning novelist Robert Morgan proves again his ability to create unforgettable heroines. In Gap Creek he writes with great feeling – but no sentimentality – about a way of life a world away from ours.
