2016 BOOKS OF THE YEAR DÉBUT FICTION


IN A DARK DARK WOOD RUTH WARE HARVILL SECKER


Nora hasn’t seen Clare for 10 years. Not since the day Nora walked out of her old life and never looked back. Until, out of the blue, an invitation to Clare’s hen party arrives. A week- end in a remote cottage: the perfect opportunity for Nora to reconnect with her best friend, to put the past behind her.


But something goes wrong. Very


wrong. And as secrets and lies un- ravel, out in the dark, dark wood, the past will finally catch up with Nora.


Bringing a first- time writer to market demands commitment, hard graft and imagination. We love the range of subject and style in our Début Fiction category and we are sure that these writers are at the start of impressive careers”
