Perfectly Preventable Deaths
by Deirdre Sullivan
Description
An isolated town. Generations of dark secrets . . .
Fifteen-year-old twins Madeline and Catlin move to a new life in Ballyfrann, a strange isolated Irish town, a place where the earth is littered with small corpses and unspoken truths. A place where, for the last sixty years, teenage girls have gone missing in the surrounding mountains.
As distance grows between the twins – as Catlin falls in love, and Madeline begins to understand her own nascent witchcraft – Madeline discovers that Ballyfrann is a place full of predators. When Catlin falls into the gravest danger of all, Madeline must ask herself who she really is, and who she wants to be – or rather, who she might have to become to save her sister.
Dark and savage, this is a highly lyrical coming-of-age thriller, about the bond between twins, witchcraft and the sacrifices we make for those we care about the most. For fans of Frances Hardinge and Laure Eve.

Reviews
‘Salty hilarity and an assured evocation of siblings’
prickly closeness give way to unnerving folk-horror
menace and gore in Sullivan’s latest lush, weird and
lyrical book.’
GUARDIAN
‘Her tender, endearing voice makes every single
magical element of this beautiful novel completely
and utterly believable, right through to its compelling
gut-punch of an ending.’
IRISH TIMES
‘A voice so idiosyncratic and full of personality that
you can hear the narrator speaking in your mind . . .
This is a classic in the making.’
