Summary

The day Rowena Murray was born, 250 starlings fell like stones from the sky. Ever since, she has been marked by Death. First the visions; then her boyfriend died suddenly; now her father, too.
Salvation, Rowena is told, lies to the North: in Culcrith, where her grandmother can save her from the curse. Her mother's farmhand, a young Egyptian man named Halim, is to drive her.
The trip isn't easy. Rowena is rebellious, spiky, and sees bad omens everywhere; Halim is reserved, quiet and prefers to play by the rules; the land is mysterious and treacherous, with people who have married old traditions with new prejudices. The pair's battle of wills may yet develop into an alliance, if they can only let their guards down and let the wild in.
“Had me gripped from start to finish ... timely, horrifying, and hugely entertaining.” - Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Dance Tree

Good story, terrible Scots accents.

Verge is an enjoyable yarn with well drawn characters and a credible atmosphere of a future Britain torn apart by insularity and fear of outsiders.

The reader was very good when using her own accent but her Scots accents were so terrible I wondered if there was any point in bothering. It spoilt a lot of my enjoyment of the book’s climax.
