The Gifts
by Liz Hyder
Description
The incredible debut adult novel from Liz Hyder, the multi-award winning author for BEARMOUTH.
A young woman staggers through the woods. Something is happening deep inside and as she's thrown to her knees in agony, the world around her stops. When she comes to, she is astonished at the sight of her shadow - it has wings.
Meanwhile when rumours of 'fallen angels' cause a frenzy across London, a surgeon desperate for fame and fortune will find himself in the grips of a dangerous obsession, and the women he seeks in the most terrible danger...
A gripping and ambitious novel told through three female voices and set against the luminous backdrop of nineteenth-century London, THE GIFTS explores science, nature, religion, enlightenment, the knife-edge roles of women in society and the dark danger of ambition.
This astonishing debut novel is perfect for fans of THE MERMAID AND MRS HANCOCK, THE ESSEX SERPENT and THE DOLL FACTORY.
